[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/3] qemu: SMBIOS support

[Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>]

This is a new version based on everyone's feedback.  I now support
creating type 0 & 1 SMBIOS fields from the command line as well as
loading binary blob entries.  It should be pretty trivial to add
support for modifying other generated tables from the command line.

Rather than moving the parsing code to vl.c, I made new smbios.[ch]
files, which seems to clean things up nicely.  I've implemented a
collision detector, so you can't pass both a binary blob containing
a type 1 entry and options to modify the entry.  Useful error
messages should be generated if this is attempted.  I've also
incorporated the -uuid option, so it's handled by the bios the
same as any other modification to an smbios field.  Let me know if
there are any further suggestions.  Thanks,

Alex
