[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 1/8] linker-loader: Add new 'write pointer' command

[ben@skyportsystems.com]

From: Ben Warren <ben@skyportsystems.com>

This is similar to the existing 'add pointer' functionality, but instead
of instructing the guest (BIOS or UEFI) to patch memory, it instructs
the guest to write the pointer back to QEMU via a writeable fw_cfg file.
