Hi Paolo,
(CCed Kevin and Gerd)

Well, the support was ready in time, see:
   [SeaBIOS] [PATCH V3 0/2] fw/pci: better support for multiple host bridges
   http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.coreboot.seabios/8681
but the SeaBIOS maintainers preferred to see first the QEMU submission
getting accepted.

In the mean time this series depends on Igor's ACPI dynamic series that took
a lot of time to review and even Michael's PULL request with it is not yet in 
master.
The latest version is fully functional, the only reason is marked as 'RFC" is 
because
of the ACPI series API kept changing.

I will submit in a day or two the another version rebased on Michael's 
for_upstream tag.
(I was waiting for it to get in master...)
I really want to see this series into 2.3, please advise.
Thanks,
Marcel
