[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 7/4] pc: go back to smaller ACPI tables


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 7/4] pc: go back to smaller ACPI tables
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2014 17:07:41 +0100

The new algorithm introduced by the previous patch lets us make tables
smaller and avoid migration bugs due to large tables.

Use it for 2.3+ machine types by tweaking the default fixed_table_align
and acpi_table_align values.  At the same time, preserve backwards-compatible
logic for pc-i440fx-2.2.

Without this patch:
