Absolutely, IIRC the problem was that testdev did a little bit of
everything... let's see what's the functionality of testdev:
- write (port 0xf1), can be replaced in autotest with:
-device isa-debugcon,iobase=0xf1,chardev=...
- exit code (port 0xf4), see this series:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg00818.html
- ram size (port 0xd1). If we can also patch kvm-unittests, the memory
is available in the CMOS or in fwcfg. Here is the SeaBIOS code:
u32 rs = ((inb_cmos(0x34) << 16) | (inb_cmos(0x35) << 24));
if (rs)
rs += 16 * 1024 * 1024;
else
rs = (((inb_cmos(0x30) << 10) | (inb_cmos(0x31) << 18))
+ 1 * 1024 * 1024);
The rest (ports 0xe0..0xe7, 0x2000..0x2017, MMIO) can be left in testdev.
