Introduce the following fw_cfg files: - "etc/smi/supported-features": a little endian uint64_t feature bitmap, presenting the features known by the host to the guest. Read-only for the guest. The content of this file will be determined via bit-granularity ICH9-LPC device properties, to be introduced later. For now, the bitmask is left zeroed. The bits will be set from machine type compat properties and on the QEMU command line, hence this file is not migrated. - "etc/smi/requested-features": a little endian uint64_t feature bitmap, representing the features the guest would like to request. Read-write for the guest. The guest can freely (re)write this file, it has no direct consequence. Initial value is zero. A nonzero value causes the SMI-related fw_cfg files and fields that are under guest influence to be migrated. - "etc/smi/features-ok": contains a uint8_t value, and it is read-only for the guest. When the guest selects the associated fw_cfg key, the guest features are validated against the host features. In case of error, the negotiation doesn't proceed, and the "features-ok" file remains zero. In case of success, the "features-ok" file becomes (uint8_t)1, and the negotiated features are locked down internally (to which no further changes are possible until reset). The initial value is zero. A nonzero value causes the SMI-related fw_cfg files and fields that are under guest influence to be migrated. The C-language fields backing the "supported-features" and "requested-features" files are uint8_t arrays. This is because they carry guest-side representation (our choice is little endian), while VMSTATE_UINT64() assumes / implies host-side endianness for any uint64_t fields. If we migrate a guest between hosts with different endiannesses (which is possible with TCG), then the host-side value is preserved, and the host-side representation is translated. This would be visible to the guest through fw_cfg, unless we used plain byte arrays. So we do. Cc: "Michael S.
