[Qemu-trivial] [PATCH v2] e1000: pre-initialize RAH/RAL registers


From: Gabriel L. Somlo
Subject: [Qemu-trivial] [PATCH v2] e1000: pre-initialize RAH/RAL registers
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:15:39 -0400
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15)

Some guest operating systems' drivers (Mac OS X in particular) fail to
properly initialize the Receive Address registers (probably expecting
them to be pre-initialized by an earlier component, such as a specific
proprietary BIOS). This patch pre-initializes the RA registers, allowing
OS X networking to function properly. Other guest operating systems are
not affected, and free to (re)initialize these registers during boot.

My bad, fixed in this version.

OK, I guess I could just memmove from d->eeprom_data instead of
d->conf.macaddr.a, on the assumption that pci_e1000_init() already
did the endian-proofing for me. But probably the safest/most paranoid
method is best, see below...

Thanks,
