Hi Erich, (1) this patch is really not trivial; please do not continue CC'ing qemu-trivial
(2) Please do CC people that have given you feedback previously. I primarily mean Daniel and David. (3) Generally speaking, please post new versions of a patch stand-alone (not in reply to another message) on the list. (4) Please use git-send-email (or suitable wrapper utilities) for sending your patch. https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch One non-meta comment below: On 09/15/20 21:10, McMillan, Erich via wrote: > Apologies, ignore previous patch.

Please look at the object_class_property_add() calls in pc_machine_class_init() [hw/i386/pc.c]. I think the PC_MACHINE_MAX_RAM_BELOW_4G property is a good example to imitate: - It has type "size". - It comes with a getter and a setter, and an associated field in PCMachineState ("max_ram_below_4g"). - It has a nice description. Then in pc_system_flash_map() [hw/i386/pc_sysfw.c], I suggest replacing FLASH_SIZE_LIMIT with "pcms->firmware_max_size". (On a tangent: if the new property mattered for the recently added "microvm" machine type too, i.e., not just i440fx (=pc) and q35, then the function to modify would be the more abstract x86_machine_class_init() [hw/i386/x86.c], rather than pc_machine_class_init(). But the new property does not seem to matter for "microvm".) Thanks Laszlo
