Could you also include the patch that
loads the PCI config from qemu?
	[PATCHv2] pci: load memory window setup from host
Pull request for the host side patches has been posted,
so they are in the process of being merged.

The seabios code that let us load the ACPI tables from qemu
is also ready, the qemu code will hopefully be merged in
a couple of weeks, but the seabios code is unchanged
and has been stable for a long while.
How do you look at merging the seabios part so
this release includes this functionality?
If OK pls let me know, I'll repost the latest bits.

Lets add that to the next release.  We can create a new stable release
if needed.

Hmm ... do you think this and loading acpi tables from
qemu are reasonable things to add to a stable release?

For QEMU the plan is to tag 1.6.0-rc1 on Aug 1,
and naturally we will only use a stable seabios there
http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/1.6

Hard freeze is a month from now, and things work fine
for me so I was hoping to start loading acpi
from qemu in that version. Is there a way to
have some seabios release that supports this in time
for 1.6?

Hrmm - you are right - that isn't really a good plan for a stable
release.

I'd like to go forward with this release.  If things are ready, I'm
okay with making another release when those changes are ready.
