attached is a tested 0.12.3-version of an old patch
http://xenon.stanford.edu/~eswierk/misc/qemu-linuxbios/qemu-piix-ram-size.patch
that together with
http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxbios@linuxbios.org/msg02390.html
(which is already in coreboot trunk) allows coreboot BIOS to autodetect the amount of RAM within qemu/kvm from a register in i440 northbridge.

The message on the old patch states:
Unfortunately the current version of qemu does not set these
registers, but I have patched qemu so that it emulates the i440 more
faithfully in this regard.



new patch is also available at
http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/qemu-0.12.3-piix-ram-size.patch

Please discuss or apply this patch.

regards

Both the original patch and yours are missing a Signed-off-by statement.
Generally preferred are patches against git master branch with a ready- 
to-commit summary, sent with git-send-email.
