Add two files that were recently introduced in a refactoring,
that Malta emulation relies on. They are added by this patch
to Malta section, but they are not added to the general MIPS
section, since they are really not MIPS-specific, and there
may be some non-MIPS hardware using them in future.

Maybe:

    F: hw/*/piix4.c

Or also add:

    F: hw/acpi/piix4.c

Philippe, are you sure? hw/acpi/piix4.c is used in PC, not in Malta, no?

It is instantiated via:

   mips_malta_init -> piix4_create -> piix4_pm_init

The ACPI block is part of the PIIX4 chipset and should be mapped 
unconditionally.


The Malta indeed uses a PIIX4, which is a PIIX3 extended.

The PC uses a Frankenstein PIIX3 with ACPI from PIIX4... I suppose 
because it started with a PIIX3, then we wanted power saving features 
but it was too late to switch to the PIIX4, so we abused of the fact 
than these blocks are exposed internally as PCI devices, so we can 
overload a PIIX3.

See https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg601512.html


FYI I have a patch ready removing the 'if smbus' check in piix4_create().

Philippe, OK, sorry I failed to notice this detail. It just looked odd to
me that ACPI and MIPS could be connected, but stranger things happen. I am
going to add

F: hw/acpi/piix4.c

in the next version of this series. Should any change happen in the future,
I leave it to you to update the file list, of course.

Have a great sunny weekend!

Aleksandar
