Turns out there were two = things: (a) iasl was not installed and I completely forgot about it because my = old setup is gone and the new box is, well new and I did not get to mess = around with tables up until now. This was easy to figure out. (b) I recalled that previously all I had to do was install iasl and the = binary would just produce the diff because it would discover iasl was in = the PATH. Now it seemed no matter what I did I was not able to get the = diff until I rebased and it triggered a clean build of qemu tree. Turns = out, now we check iasl existence from meson and CONFIG_IASL is set from = the build time (if not set, *iasl is NULL and no diff is generated). So I wonder if we have made our lives any easier? Why should we need to = rebuild the entire tree if all we wanted was to debug a test breakage? = Sure we could always run iasl manually but isn=E2=80=99t it easier to = simply run "V=3D1 make check-qtest=E2=80=9D and let the test spit it out = for us?
