I think this is the only sensible solution for 2.10: Have "pc" provide a rev1 FADT and "q35" provide a rev3 FADT. Or just revert the rev3 FADT patch and try again in the 2.11 devel cycle. We are in qemu freeze and we don't even have a clear plan yet how to implement the "RSDT points to rev1 and XSDT points to rev3" thing, which IMO is a clear indicator that it isn't 2.10 material. Beside that I'll be in my summer vacation next three weeks, so I can't take care to create a seabios 1.10.3 release and update qemu ... cheers, Gerd
