Hm. While this is an one-liner indeed, I'm not sure it's the right
value.  From my pci.ids:

C 07  Communication controller
        00  Serial controller
                00  8250
                01  16450
                02  16550
                03  16650
                04  16750
                05  16850
                06  16950

so it seems correct thing to do.

What about multi_serial_pci_init() -- should it too set prog-if
like this?

Thanks,

I'm not completely sure what the correct value should be for 
multi_serial_pci_init so I've left that alone. There's also 07 02 00 that 
means multiport serial controller that might apply for that case. For the 
simple case I've sent the patch for I had a client expecting this value so 
I think it is correct for that at least but I don't know about the 
multiport case.

Also Gerd Hoffmann said he has picked this patch up so I'm adding him to 
cc too.

The multiport variants are simply multiple 16550 chips mapped one after
the other.  So "02" is better than "00".

I don't know what exactly the multiport serial controller is supposed to
be.

So what should we do then? Should I send an updated patch which sets 
070002 in the multiport case too?

Yes, that would be great.

OK, I'll resubmit it after pc-2.1 is added also with the multiport case.

No, please don't; this needs to be done for new machine types only.

Why? I tried running a Windows XP image that was set up before this patch 
and it did not complain about changed hardware. Or is there another reason 
I'm missing?

Classes (or anything guest-visible in fact) must never ever be changed 
for the same machine type.  It's a rule.

The class did not change only the prog interface field after it (which is 
guest visible but I think most guests just ignore it). So then what's the 
correct way to do it? Do I need to change the patch or can it be merged as 
it is the next time a new machine type is added?

You can wait for the 2.1 machine type to be added.

I thought about this too, but decided this is too minor a difference
to warrant special per-machine-type handling.  Oh well.
