[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 12/14] pc: add 'etc/boot-cpus' fw_cfg file for machine with more than 255 CPUs

[Igor Mammedov]

Currently firmware uses 1 byte at 0x5F offset in RTC CMOS
to get number of CPUs present at boot. However 1 byte is
not enough to handle more than 255 CPUs.  So add a fw_cfg
file that would allow QEMU to tell it.
For compat reasons add file only for machine types that
support more than 255 CPUs.
