Hi,

These patches allow users to configure bootable device in guest configration 
file.
The shadow memory, which mean memory area loading option ROM, is small.
So if we specified many pass-through device, hvmloader cannot load all of 
option ROM.
We want to select a device which we want to load the option ROM.
After applying these patches, we need to specify pci option of bootable device 
like below.

pci = [ '01:00.0,boot=1' ]

boot=1 means bootable, boot=0 and no boot option mean non-bootable.

BTW, if we don't specify the boot=1 option, we can boot from emulation disks
and we can boot faster because option ROM is not initialized.

These patches use cmos(0x60) as a place retaining the devfn of bootable device.
Bochs BIOS doesn't seems to use the offset 0x60.
What do you think of using cmos(0x60)?
Do you have some ideas?

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
