The WRITE_POINTER linker/loader command that underlies VMGENID depends on
commit baf2d5bfba ("fw-cfg: support writeable blobs", 2017-01-12), which
in turn depends on fw_cfg DMA.
DMA for fw_cfg is enabled in 2.5+ machine types only (see commit
e6915b5f3a, "fw_cfg: unbreak migration compatibility for 2.4 and earlier
machines", 2016-02-18).

This implements the VM Generation ID feature by passing a 128-bit
GUID to the guest via a fw_cfg blob.
Any time the GUID changes, an ACPI notify event is sent to the guest
The user interface is a simple device with one parameter:
- guid (string, must be "auto" or in UUID format
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)
