[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] Add support for biosdevname inside VM

[Ivan Mironov]

Hello!

These patches adds support for providing SMBIOS "Onboard Devices Extended 
Information" fields to the guest i386/x86_64 system. This could be used in 
conjunction with biosdevname to provide "consistent network device naming" 
inside VM.

I will also send corresponding patches to address@hidden and address@hidden 
(for biosdevname).

Changes since previous version:
 * Fixed bug in ./hw/i386/smbios.c:
