Hi,
What will happen when we find a bug in one of ROMs I wonder? I think we will need to keep the old ROM around, and put it in as part of compat machine type?
What do you want? Old way to load the rom? Old rom binaries (i.e. etherboot)? Both?The new way to load the roms is a guest-visible change (devices get a rom bar they had not before), so we might want to have a backward compatibility property for that. Not sure whenever this is a problem.
Allowing old ROMs isn't easy as they don't support BEV. cheers, Gerd
