After some sleep I could remember why I postponed this series:

1/ making the ITU selectable gives:

  /usr/bin/ld: target/mips/op_helper.o: in function `helper_mtc0_saar':
  ./target/mips/op_helper.c:1614: undefined reference to `itc_reconfigure'
  /usr/bin/ld: target/mips/op_helper.o: in function `helper_mthc0_saar':
  ./target/mips/op_helper.c:1631: undefined reference to `itc_reconfigure'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Anyway it is now selectable but has to be always selected.

2/ I thought only the Malta board was deeply mixed with the X86 ACPI
code, but I later noticed the Fulong is too.

  /usr/bin/ld: ../hw/isa/vt82c686.o: in function `vt82c686b_pm_realize':
  ./hw/isa/vt82c686.c:381: undefined reference to `acpi_pm_tmr_init'
  /usr/bin/ld: ./hw/isa/vt82c686.c:382: undefined reference to
`acpi_pm1_evt_init'
  /usr/bin/ld: ../hw/isa/vt82c686.o: in function `pm_update_sci':
  ./hw/isa/vt82c686.c:195: undefined reference to `acpi_pm1_evt_get_sts'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Both VT82C686B/PIIX4 southbridges require considerable cleanup.
I think I now have something workable, but I have to sell my patches
correctly to the different subsystem maintainers ;)

Regards,

Phil.
