  • Replace signrom with shell script v3 ...
    89e671e3 
    In order to not execute code we just compiled, let's replace signrom
with a shell script that does the same thing while staying compatible
to pretty much every system available.

This should make cross-compilation for windows easier.

  • Multiboot build system v4 ...
    253d0942 
    In order to build the multiboot option rom, we need a Makefile and a tool
to sign the rom with.

Both are provided by this patch and mostly taken from the extboot source,
written by Anthony Liguori.

Once built, the resulting binary gets copied to pc-bios automatically.

Building also occurs automatically when on an x86 host.

  • Multiboot support v5 ...
    f16408df 
    This patch implements support for Multiboot on x86 for -kernel.
Multiboot is a "new" approach to get rid of different bootloaders, providing
a unified interface for the kernel. It supports command line options and
kernel modules.

The two probably best known projects using multiboot are Xen and GNU Hurd.

This implementation should be mostly feature-complete. It is missing VBE
extensions, but as no system uses them currently it does not really hurt.

To use multiboot, specify the kernel as -kernel option. Modules should be given
as -initrd options, seperated by a comma (,). -append also works.

Please bear in mind that grub also does gzip decompression, which qemu does
not do yet. To run existing images, please ungzip them first.

The guest multiboot loader code is implemented as option rom using int 19.
Parts of the work are based on efforts by Rene Rebe, who originally ported
my code to int 19.

  • qemu: Add support for SMBIOS command line otions (Alex Williamson) ...
    b6f6e3d3 
    Create a new -smbios option (x86-only) to allow binary SMBIOS entries
to be passed through to the BIOS or modify the default values of
individual fields of type 0 and 1 entries on the command line.

Binary SMBIOS entries can be generated as follows:

dmidecode -t 1 -u | grep $'^\t\t[^"]' | xargs -n1 | \
        perl -lne 'printf "%c", hex($_)' > smbios_type_1.bin

These can then be passed to the BIOS using this switch:

 -smbios file=smbios_type_1.bin

Command line generation supports the following syntax:

 -smbios type=0[,vendor=str][,version=str][,date=str][,release=%d.%d]
 -smbios type=1[,manufacturer=str][,product=str][,version=str][,serial=str]
              [,uuid=$(uuidgen)][,sku=str][,family=str]

For instance, to add a serial number to the type 1 table:

 -smbios type=1,serial=0123456789

Interface is extensible to support more fields/tables as needed.
