[PATCH v2 0/3] pc: Support configuration of SMBIOS entry point type
Posted by Eduardo Habkost 4 years, 11 months ago 
This includes code previously submitted[1] by Daniel P. Berrangé
to add a "smbios-ep" machine property on PC.

SMBIOS 3.0 is necessary to support more than ~720 VCPUs, as a
large number of VCPUs can easily hit the table size limit of
SMBIOS 2.1 entry points.

    https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20200908165438.1008942-6-berrange@redhat.com

Daniel P. Berrangé (1):
  hw/i386: expose a "smbios-ep" PC machine property

Eduardo Habkost (2):
  smbios: Rename SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_* enums
  hw/smbios: Use qapi for SmbiosEntryPointType

Eduardo,
do you plan to submit Seabios patches for SMBIOS 3.0?
will OVMF pick up new tables automatically?

OVMF will pick the new tables automatically.
