Ping?

Interest in persistent memory is picking up and I'd like to avoid
duplicating work.  Which pieces do you have patches for?

1. QEMU -device pmem,file=/path/to/dax/file,id=pmem1 and fw_cfg/ACPI
info that gets passed to the guest
2. SeaBIOS NFIT ACPI table
3. ACPI NVDIMM DSM (probably not much needed, most features would be disabled)

Thanks,
Stefan
