[Qemu-devel] [QEMU v7 PATCH 0/7] SMBIOS: build full tables in QEMU

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

New in version 7 of the patch set:

  - patch set now down to only 7 patches;

  - machine versions 2.0 and older currently unaffected by this patch set,
    will continue using field overrides as before

  - patches 1..6 are very small and simple, and set the stage for patch #7

  - patch 7 introduces the new aggregate-table functionality; it consists
    mostly of insertions, and should therefore be relatively easy to follow.

  - "-smbios file=<foo>" functionality happens before we know whether we're
    in legacy or new/aggregate-table mode, so we insert the file blob(s) into
    both the legacy and the aggregate tables, and keep the one we need once
    we know which one that is.

For those interested, the code is also structured for easy subsequent removal
of the legacy mode, if/when that becomes applicable ;)

Thanks again for any feedback and comments (or for just applying the patch) !
