I think you also need to take over the base vmapple change because PVG
cannot be tested without it; Only macOS can use PVG, and macOS requires
vmapple in my understanding.
The PCI device variant works fine with x86-64 macOS as the guest system. (Or technically any UEFI based guest as the bootrom comes with a UEFI frame buffer driver; it just won’t have any acceleration features unless you boot macOS.)
If preferable I can leave out the vmapple/MMIO device variant (the -vmapple.m file) until the rest of the vmapple machine type modifications are ready. There still appears to be some kind of interrupt delivery issue with some devices on vmapple, so USB HID events are very slow. Or I can submit it as is if that’s not a dealbreaker. (How do I handle Alex’ unmodified patches though, as git send-email tries to send them from the patch author’s email address, which means the email rapidly gets shot down by DKIM mismatch or whatever?)
Thanks,
