Not sure this can help me though. The order in which things happen is:
1. smbios_entry_add() gets called for every "-smbios file=..." and
"-smbios type=..." command line argument
a. "type=..." is OK, we just remember the values for later
b. "file=..." less so, because we have to load the blobs into
*something*. In my v7 patch set I decided to load the blobs
into *both* the legacy and new-fangled aggregate tables.
2. smbios_set_defaults() is called
- by now we *already* know the machine version we have, so
we get to free the table we now know we won't need
(aggregate if we're on <= v2.0, legacy if 2.1 or newer,
see 1.b. above)
3. smbios_get_table* functions are called and the various resulting
blobs are inserted into fw_cfg.
4. pc_guest_info_machine_done() gets called after all of the above.
- placing a callback here is unlikely to be helpful, unless
I'm missing something.
Please let me know what you think of the v7 patches:
