On physical machine EPC is exposed in ACPI table via "INT0E0C". Although EPC
can be discovered by CPUID but Windows driver requires EPC to be exposed in
ACPI table as well. This patch exposes EPC in ACPI table.

Is there any reason this needs to be done in hvmloader instead of
libacpi? I'm mostly asking this because PVH guests can also get ACPI
tables, so it would be good to be able to expose EPC to them using
ACPI.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for comments. I didn't deliberately choose to do in hvmloader instead of libacpi. It seems libxl only builds ACPI table when guest is HVM, and it doesn't use any device model, and I think I have covered this part (see changes to init_acpi_config). Is there anything that I missed?

Thanks,
-Kai

Thanks, Roger.
