[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] pc: Drop practically unused BOCHS BIOS debug ports

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] pc: Drop practically unused BOCHS BIOS debug ports

[Jan Kiszka]

We have debugcon these days to listen on those ports that receive debug
messages. Also drop the others that have no effect anymore.

This looks pretty identical to Hervé's "pc: remove DEBUG_BIOS define and
QEMU exit I/O ports", doesn't it? The discussion there concluded that
compatibility needs to be provided for older machines.

I'm not removing any behaviour that can be achieved _without_
additionally patching QEMU. I'm just removing practically dead debug
code, leaving in the bits that do have effects.

I'll pick this up after it goes through testing.

Didn't want to argue about that, just pointing you to the discussion
thread that you have snipped above. It was Anthony's request. ;)

The 2nd patch cited did more than what my patch does by making those
ports optional (and apparently default off) that do have effect.
