[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 0/5] add ACPI node for fw_cfg on pc and arm

["Gabriel L. Somlo" <somlo@cmu.edu>]

Generate an ACPI DSDT node for fw_cfg on pc and arm guests.

New since v7:

	- edited commit blurb on 3/5 to match updated content, i.e. that
	  the ACPI node is now inserted into the DSDT (no longer the SSDT).
	  (Thanks to Igor Mammedov for catching that!)

Thanks,
  --Gabriel

>>>>>>New since v1:

Gabriel L. Somlo (5):
  fw_cfg: expose control register size in fw_cfg.h
  pc: fw_cfg: move ioport base constant to pc.h
  acpi: pc: add fw_cfg device node to dsdt
  acpi: arm: add fw_cfg device node to dsdt
  fw_cfg: document ACPI device node information
