This feature is useful for exposing arbitrary text to arbitrary guest components (in particular when strings are prefixed with "application identifiers"). Right now, strings can only be specified on the QEMU command line, which limits the amount of data that can be passed. Please enable users to pass data from regular files too. For example: $QEMU -smbios type=11,value=Hello,txtfile=file1.txt,txtfile=file2.txt where "file1.txt" and "file2.txt" could be text files containing ASCII application prefixes, followed by base64-encoded binary data.
