Hi,
Based on the feedback I received over the e820 reserve patch, I have
changed it to have QEMU pass in a list of entries that can cover more
than just the TSS/EPT range. This should provide the flexibility that
people were asking for.
The Seabios portion should allow for unlimited sized tables

I think defining accessor functions for every piece of data passed
through qemu-cfg interface is going to get tiring. I'd prefer to
extend the existing qemu-cfg "file" interface for new content.
For example, add a helper with something like:

As a side note, it should probably do the e820 map check even for qemu

Hi Kevin,
Here is an updated version of the patch which does the e820 read
unconditionally of the return from kvm_para_available() so it should
work for co
