Sure!
I'm extending the scope of this series to go all the way to consolidate the
piix 3 + 4 southbridges which is why I didn't post a v2 yet. The extended
series will also address Peter's comments.
Thanks,
Bernhard
P.S.:
I've got a working POC where PIIX4 rather than PIIX3 is used in the "pc"
machine which also supports KVM accelleration:
