[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 0/5] add ACPI node for fw_cfg on pc and arm

["Gabriel L. Somlo" <somlo@cmu.edu>]

Generate an ACPI DSDT node for fw_cfg on pc and arm guests.

New since v6:
	- rebased to fit on top of fb306ff and f264d36, which moved things
	  around in pc's acpi-build.c (only patch 3/5 affected);
	- kernel-side fw_cfg sysfs driver accepted into upstream linux

Thanks,
 --Gabriel
