I guess that's doable, unless reviews also have to be done by then, in
which case it's out of my hands :)

Tangentially related, do any of you know of the best/fastest way to
grab the "CPUX86State *env" of (one of) the x86 CPU (about to be)
configured for the current guest ?

I have to populate these type 4 fields like so:

        processor_id[0] = env->cpuid_version;
        processor_id[1] = env=>features[FEAT_1_EDX];

and I'm a bit lost as to where (and whether) this stuff is available
from anywhere at the time the smbios initialization code is being
executed...

SeaBIOS has the luxury of executing the CPUID instruction from within
guest context and using the returned %eax and %edx, but I'm hoping
there's a shortcut from the host side :)
