This patch introduces support for two new parameters in libxl: smbios_firmware=<path_to_smbios_structures_file> acpi_firmware=<path_to_acpi_tables_file> The changes are primarily in the domain building code where the firmware files are read and passed to libxc for loading into the new guest. After the domain building call to libxc, the addresses for the loaded blobs are returned and written to xenstore. LIBXL_HAVE_FIRMWARE_PASSTHROUGH is defined in libxl.h to allow users to determine if the feature is present. This patch also updates the xl.cfg man page with descriptions of the two new parameters for firmware passthrough.

xen-bugtool =========== The xen-bugtool command line application will collate the Xen dmesg output, details of the hardware configuration of your machine, information about the build of Xen that you are using, plus, if you allow it, various logs. The information collated can either be posted to a Xen Bugzilla bug (this bug must already exist in the system, and you must be a registered user there), or it can be saved as a .tar.bz2 for sending or archiving. The collated logs may contain private information, and if you are at all worried about that, you should not use this tool, or you should explicitly exclude those logs from the archive. xen-bugtool is wholly interactive, so simply run it, and answer the questions.
