Do you see any other things to work on for the SMBIOS patches? Making
SMBIOS not optional cuts down on a bit of the code, so I'm working on
that and getting the code to run on the latest changeset today.
I think they're basically okay. I find it a bit weird that hvmloader
puts SMBIOS tables in a fixed place and then rombios copies them -- not
sure why that's needed but I suppose you're only copying what is done
for ACPI tables. Couldn't hvmloader write all BIOS tables to a safe
location and be done with them, or is the problem that 0xf0000 upwards
is not available at the time hvmloader runs? Also, is the e820
reservation entry actually valid: 0x9f000-0xA0000 is reserved, but
rombios copies the tables out of that area, right? Does rombios also
update the e820 table?
