[Qemu-devel] [ARM SMBIOS RFC PATCH 0/5] SMBIOS Support for ARM

[Wei Huang]

SMBIOS tables present userful system hardware info to management
applications, such as DMI tools. Even though SMBIOS was originally
developed for Intel x86, it has been extended to both Itanium and 
ARM (32bit & 64bit). More and more ARM server releases, such as 
RHEL Server for ARM, start to integrate support for SMBIOS.

This patchset is intendted to provid SMBIOS tables for ARM mach-virt
machine. The SMBIOS tables are created and stored in fw_cfg, awaiting
OVMF (AAVMF) to parse/present SMBIOS entry.

NOTE: This is RFC and the patches haven't been fully tested yet.
Laszlo is kind enough to offer help on fixing AAVMF to enable support
for SMBIOS. Any comments are welcomed for next release.

Thanks,
-Wei
