So in order to work around that, I sat down and implemented Avi's suggestion of "downloading" all blobs in runtime from the fw_cfg interface Thanks to glommer who talked me into doing it ;-). v1 -> v2: - rename copy_rom -> rom_copy - introduce fw_cfg compat loader for loadvm Alexander Graf (6): Make fw_cfg interface 32-bit aware Introduce rom_rom Convert multiboot to fw_cfg backed data storage Move common option rom code to header file Convert linux bootrom to external rom and fw_cfg Add linuxboot to BLOBS Makefile | 2 +- hw/fw_cfg.c | 30 ++++++-- hw/fw_cfg.h | 13 +++- hw/loader.c | 38 +++++++++ hw/loader.h | 1 + hw/pc.c | 169 +++++++++++++---------------------------- pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile | 2 +- pc-bios/optionrom/linuxboot.S | 140 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ pc-bios/optionrom/multiboot.S | 108 ++++++++++----------------- pc-bios/optionrom/optionrom.h | 107 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 416 insertions(+), 194 deletions(-) create mode 100644 pc-bios/optionrom/linuxboot.S create mode 100644 pc-bios/optionrom/optionrom.h
