Thanks for the patch! Yet something to improve (see below):

I see addresses at gmail, virtualoco and redhat.com At this point I
don't really know which address to use to contact you :) All of them?

Also, I think it's a good idea to CC this more widely. Consider CC-ing
qemu contributors to the vm gen id (use git log to get the list), Ben
Warren who wrote a prototype driver a while ago, qemu mailing list,
maybe more.

I think it's a good idea to use sysfs for this. However,
there are a couple of missing interfaces here:

1. Userspace needs a way to know when this value changes.
I see no change notifications here and that does not seem right.

2. Userspace needs to be able to read these without
system calls. Pls add mmap support to the raw format.
(Phys address is not guaranteed to be page-aligned so you will
probably want an offset attribute for that as well).

While it's possible to add these later in theory, it's
easier if userspace can rely on all interfaces being
in place just by detecting the directory presence.

Do you want to add this under QEMU MACHINE EMULATOR in MAINTAINERS?
This way e.g. qemu-devel will be copied.

It's not a counter, is it?
I'd go with "vm_generation_id" here. Eschew abbreviation.

And this I'd call "uuid" then.

Shouldn't this be acpi_os_map_memory? Spec says it's never an IO address.

I think you want BIN_ATTR_RO.

It's ADDR - not _ADDR, right?

EINVAL here and elsewhere.

i * 32

That's not right I think. You should go by _CID and maybe
_DDN.

Thanks for your work, and I hope this helps!
