2014-09-22OvmfPkg: AcpiPlatformDxe: actualize QemuLoader.h commentsLaszlo Ersek
We used to state in this header file that we only cared about the Allocate command. This is no longer the case; update the comments accordingly.

2014-06-19OvmfPkg: AcpiPlatformDxe: don't rely on unstable QEMU interfaceLaszlo Ersek
The fw_cfg file "etc/acpi/tables" is not a stable guest interface -- QEMU could rename it in the future, and/or introduce additional fw_cfg files with ACPI payload. Only the higher-level "etc/table-loader" file is considered stable, which contains a sequence of commands to assist firmware with reading QEMU ACPI tables from the FwCfg interface. Because edk2 provides publishing support for ACPI tables, OVMF only uses the Allocate command to find the names of FwCfg files to read and publish as ACPI tables.
