Bit 0 is the enable bit, which we not only don't want to set, but
it will stick and make us think it's an I/O port resource.

uses the QEMU firmware configuration interfacce to send the NUMA
topology to the BIOS, which has to setup the tables. Only one firmware
configuration channel is used.

Create a new -smbios option (x86-only) to allow binary SMBIOS entries
to be passed through to the BIOS or modify the default values of
individual fields of type 0 and 1 entries on the command line.
Binary SMBIOS entries can be generated as follows:
dmidecode -t 1 -u | grep $'^\t\t[^"]' | xargs -n1 | \
perl -lne 'printf "%c", hex($_)' > smbios_type_1.bin
These can then be passed to the BIOS using this switch:
-smbios file=smbios_type_1.bin
Command line generation supports the following syntax:
-smbios type=0[,vendor=str][,version=str][,date=str][,release=%d.%d]
-smbios type=1[,manufacturer=str][,product=str][,version=str][,serial=str]
[,uuid=$(uuidgen)][,sku=str][,family=str]
For instance, to add a serial number to the type 1 table:
-smbios type=1,serial=0123456789
Interface is extensible to support more fields/tables as needed.

Apparently, guests are very tolerant of corrupt ACPI tables because our
tables have been badly corrupted for some time now. A version of
Knoppix using a 2.6.11 kernel refused to boot and it turned out it was
due to the interrupt override table introduced by the recent HPET
commit.
This patch updates the BIOS and introduces a patch to pack the ACPI
tables. If you have a guest that used to work and is broken by the this
commit, let me know. We have some weird hacks in the tables that I
suspect are work arounds for this bug.

This patch adds HPET emulation. It can be disabled with -disable-hpet. An hpet
provides a more finely granular clocksource than otherwise available on PC.
This means that latency-dependent applications (e.g. multimedia) will generally
be smoother when using the HPET.

Update the PC BIOS to the latest version, split out the patches into
patch series, and update the README to point to the new location of the
Bochs BIOS source tree.
Also update the gitignore to allow the patch queue directory to be used.
