Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 4/5] hw/arm/virt: export fixed BAR metadata via fw_cfg
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:40:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827004024.598351-5-tdave@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827004024.598351-1-tdave@nvidia.com>
Export fixed BAR metadata from the virt machine through the
"etc/fixed-bars" fw_cfg file during machine initialization.
Fixed BAR placement requires firmware to preserve the PCI resource
configuration established by QEMU. ACPI provides this via the PCI
boot configuration preservation mechanism, _DSM function 5.
Reject fixed BAR configuration when ACPI is disabled, and request PCI
boot configuration preservation when ACPI is enabled.
