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.

Those guys are not different in nature. They're all roms,
not blessed with the graces of being written to. So there's
not need to issue multiple requests to memory registration areas:
just treat them as brothers, and put them all in the same
region.
It also has the nice side effect of improving the loading code
a little bit. Besides some of the ugliness going away, we're now
avoiding phys_ram_base dependencies in option rom code.

This patch increases by 50 % the size available for option roms.
The main motivator is that some roms grew bigger than the 64k we
currently allocate for them (Hey, it's 2009!)
One example is the gpxe project, that produces some roms with 69k,
70k, etc. The space proposed by this patch actually makes it as
big as 84k. Probably still a fit for some time.
But there is no free lunch. This space must come from somewhere,
and we take it from vga rom space. Currently, our vga roms are
around 35k in size. With this patch, option rom space will begin
just after vga ends, aligned to the next 2k boundary.
Technicaly, we could do the same with the uper space (the bios itself),
but since bochs bios is already 128 k in size, I don't see an
urgent need to do it.

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

On the MIPS Magnum, the time that is held in the RTC's NVRAM should be
relative to midnight on 1980-01-01. This patch adds an extra parameter
to rtc_init(), allowing different epochs to be used. For the Magnum,
1980 is specified, and for all other machines, 2000 is specified.
I've not modified the handling of the century byte, as with an epoch of
1980 and a year of 2009, one could argue that it should hold either
0, 1, 19 or 20. NT 3.50 on MIPS does not read the century byte.

Patch 5/7
This patch changes the graphical_console_init function to return an
allocated DisplayState instead of a QEMUConsole.
This patch contains just the graphical_console_init change and few other
modifications mainly in console.c and vl.c.
It was necessary to move the display frontends (e.g. sdl and vnc)
initialization after machine->init in vl.c.
This patch does *not* include any required changes to any device, these
changes come with the following patches.
Patch 6/7
This patch changes the QEMUMachine init functions not to take a
DisplayState as an argument because is not needed any more;
In few places the graphic hardware initialization function was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now they are always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.
Patch 7/7
This patch updates the graphic device code to use the new
graphical_console_init function.
As for the previous patch, in few places graphical_console_init was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now it is always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.
