[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] fw_cfg: spec update, read optimization, misc. cleanup |

This series' main purpose is to update (and simplify) the specified
read callback behavior. An earlier standalone patch to move qemu function
call API documentation into fw_cfg.h should logically be part of the series.
Here's the summary of what each patch does:
- Patch 1/4 is an updated version of the standalone v1 patch
I sent out earlier; it moves all the qemu-internal host-side
function call api documentation out of docs/specs/fw_cfg.txt,
and into the fw_cfg.h header file, next to the prototype of
each documented api function.
- Patch 2/4 modifies the specified behavior of read callbacks
(from being invoked once per byte read, to being invoked once,
before ANY data is read, specifically once each time an item
is selected).
- Patch 3/4 additionally removes the now-redundant offset argument
from the read callback prototype.
- Finally, 4/4 consolidates (non-DMA) reads, minimizing the number
of times redundant sanity checks are performed, particularly for
wide (> byte) sized reads.
Comments, reviews, etc. much appreciated!
Thanks,
Gabriel
