Hi Igor,

I tried building your repository and got build break on ssdt-mem.hex, have you face this problem or Its just me (:-

 No rule to make target `hw/i386/ssdt-mem.hex', needed by `hw/i386/acpi-build.o'.  Stop

using this rule to qemu config: ../configure --enable-kvm --enable-debug --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --iasl=IASL

Thanks.

Applied, thanks everyone!
