[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/i386: add device tree support

[Antonio Borneo]

With "-dtb" on command-line:
- append the device tree blob to the kernel image;
- pass the blob's pointer to the kernel through setup_data, as
  requested by upstream kernel commit da6b737b9ab7 ("x86: Add
  device tree support").

The device tree blob is passed as-is to the guest; none of its
fields is modified nor updated. This is not an issue; the kernel
commit above uses the device tree only as an extension to the
traditional kernel configuration.

Hi,

I'm not expert on the x86 memory map at boot and during kernel
boot; I found easy to just append the dtb to the kernel image.
>From my tests this patch is working fine.
If you have any hint for a different loading address for dtb, I
would be glad to modify this code.

Regards,
Antonio
