Hi,

This series add a new 'malta-strict' machine, that aims to properly
model the real hardware (which is not what the current 'malta'
machine models).

As a bonus for Debian builders, a 'malta-unleashed' machine RFC
patch is included. This might start another endless discussion
upstream, but this is not the point of, so I still include it
for people to test. The rest of the series is candidate for merging
in mainstream QEMU.

Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (6):
   hw/mips/malta: Trivial code movement
   hw/mips/malta: Register the machine as a TypeInfo
   hw/mips/malta: Introduce MaltaMachineClass::max_ramsize
   hw/mips/malta: Introduce the 'malta-strict' machine
   hw/mips/malta: Verify malta-strict machine uses correct DIMM sizes
   hw/mips/malta: Introduce the 'malta-unleashed' 64-bit machine

This whole series is based on idea of emulating physically
non-existing feature, and as such violates the fundamental principles
of QEMU.

As such, not acceptable for upstreaming.

 Hi Aleksandar,

could you please point me to the spot where we declare this "fundamental principle" of QEMU? Sorry, but I must have missed this piece of information so far. And could you please enlighten me what we should do now with virtio, since most of these devices also are physically non-existent?

 Thanks,
  Thomas
