[PATCH v3 2/2] hw/i386: Replace magic number with field length calculation
Posted by Dov Murik 3 years, 11 months ago
Replce the literal magic number 48 with length calculation (32 bytes at
the end of the firmware after the table footer + 16 bytes of the OVMF
table footer GUID).

No functional change intended.
