[Qemu-devel] [PATCH FYI 00/13] ACPI stuff for the DataTableRegion()-based VMGenID

[Laszlo Ersek]

So, as I wrote in the parent, this does not actually work in Windows,
because Windows doesn't support the DataTableRegion() operator; not even
modern Windows versions.

I'm nonetheless posting the series for the following purposes:

- Posterity. I think the series is worth preserving in the mailing list
  archive.

- Testing by others, if anyone is so inclined. (Should someone come back
  here later: the series applies to commit
  fc04a730b7e60f4a62d6260d4eb9c537d1d3643f.)

- I think that several patches from the series would be worth merging in
  their own right.

Anatomy of the FYI series:

- Patch 01 is known from the RFC posting; it has seen a number of
  changes. Those are all noted on the patch itself.

- Patch 02 is not related to ACPI, but it was the first one I wrote,
  while trying to attack this series, so I'm including it here anyway.

- Patches 03 to 08 add generic code for, and then introduce, the UEFI
  ACPI Data Table, described in patch 01.

- Patches 09 to 13 add helper functions for, and then generate, the VMGI
  device's AML.
