- _FIT implementation
- -------------------
- TODO (will fill it when nvdimm hotplug is introduced)
+Device Handle Reservation
+-------------------------
+As we mentioned above, byte 0 ~ byte 3 in the DSM memory save NVDIMM device
+handle. The handle is completely QEMU internal thing, the values in range
+[0, 0xFFFF] indicate nvdimm device (O means nvdimm root device named NVDR),
+other values are reserved by other purpose.
+
+Current reserved handle:
+0x10000 is reserved for QEMU internal DSM function called on the root
+device.
+
+QEMU internal use only _DSM function
+------------------------------------
+UUID, 648B9CF2-CDA1-4312-8AD9-49C4AF32BD62, is reserved for QEMU internal
+DSM function.
+
+There is the function introduced by QEMU and only used by QEMU internal.
+
+1) Read FIT
+ As we only reserved one page for NVDIMM ACPI it is impossible to map the
+ whole FIT data to guest's address space. This function is used by _FIT
+ method to read a piece of FIT data from QEMU.
+
+ Input parameters:
+ Arg0 – UUID {set to 648B9CF2-CDA1-4312-8AD9-49C4AF32BD62}
+ Arg1 – Revision ID (set to 1)
+ Arg2 - Function Index, 0x1
+ Arg3 - A package containing a buffer whose layout is as follows:
+
+ +----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+ | Filed | Byte Length | Byte Offset | Description |
+ +----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+ | offset | 4 | 0 | the offset of FIT buffer |
+ +----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+
+ Output:
+ +----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+ | Filed | Byte Length | Byte Offset | Description |
+ +----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+ | | | | return status codes |
+ | | | | 0x100 indicates fit has been |
+ | status | 4 | 0 | updated |
+ | | | | other follows Chapter 3 in DSM |
+ | | | | Spec Rev1 |
+ +----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+ | fit data | Varies | 4 | FIT data |
+ | | | | |
+ +----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+
+
+ The FIT offset is maintained by the caller itself, current offset plugs
+ the length returned by the function is the next offset we should read.
+ When all the FIT data has been read out, zero length is returned.
+
+ If it returns 0x100, OSPM should restart to read FIT (read from offset 0
+ again).
