Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/5] exec: qemu_ram_alloc_device, qemu_ram_resize

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert]

Since we've wondered off the actual ACPI table stuff into general
ROM sizing, I'd like to propose some concrete fixes:

  1) We explicitly name the bios file in a .romfile attribute for
     all ROMs.
  2) The code that uses .romfile has an expansion for $MACHINETYPE
  3) We actually symlink all of those together, anyone who wants/has
     to deal with different versions can downstream.
  4) The machine types contain size attributes for the ROMs that
     are generoously larger than the ROMs anyone currently uses.

I think 1..3 should deal with those of us who have to deal with different
ROM versions on different machine types.
4 might be good enough for the ACPI tables if you can bound it.

Dave
