[Qemu-devel] Missing Diag/Debug Registers in lsi53c895a emulation

[Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de>]

Hi,

while trying to run an ASA1000V appliance I found that registers 0x09 and 0x3c-3f are read during boot up. Which
currently results in an exit(1). The appliance uses an quite ancient 2.6.29.6 Linux kernel.
These registers are mainly for diag and debug purposes so I came up with the following patch. The system works
with the following patch, but I wonder if this is a correct workaround:
