We have two implementations of write_acpi_tables(). One for writing ACPI
tables based on ACPI_WRITER() entries another based on copying tables from
QEMU.

Create a symbol CONFIG_QFW_ACPI that signifies copying ACPI tables from
QEMU and use it consistently.

I still feel like this is a weird direction to go in and that:

Will need to be tweaked later on still with some other symbol to denote
"ACPI tables were passed along on real hardware by $mechanism". But we
can cross that when we come to it.


QFW is only about QEMU. What I did here is separating the transfer of ACPI tables from QEMU from the code co-used by the sandbox. Do you think this is wrong?

Probably when booting U-Boot via Coreboot we should be able to copy ACPI tables. But this will not involve QFW. Is there any code, yet, where U-Boot is picking up ACPI tables from Coreboot?

In this case you would not set symbol CONFIG_GENERATE_ACPI_TABLES. Do we really need yet another symbol?

Best regards

Heinrich
