I fixed the compile error.
I think the missing break is intentional, so added an comment there. Michael?
Blue, can you please take a look of it?

Subject: [PATCH] revamp acpitable parsing and allow to specify complete (headerful) table

From Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>

This patch almost rewrites acpi_table_add() function
(but still leaves it using old get_param_value() interface).
The result is that it's now possible to specify whole table
(together with a header) in an external file, instead of just
data portion, with a new file= parameter, but at the same time
it's still possible to specify header fields as before.

Now with the checkpatch.pl formatting fixes, thanks to
Stefan Hajnoczi for suggestions, with changes from
Isaku Yamahata, and with my further refinements.

v5: rediffed against current qemu/master.
v6: fix one "} else {" coding style defect (noted by Blue Swirl)
v7: style fix and added an comment for suspicious break
    I think that the missing break of case 0 is intentional.
    I added the fallthrough comment there.

Oh, another one? :)

Yes it's intentional, you're right.

I think it's hopeless.

Thanks.

Somehow completely missed Blue's response back on the 15th. Glad to see this in.  

When using this for SLIC I had to patch the OEM ID fields in the other tables to match at runtime in order to make windows licensing happy. But thats a BIOS change, not something in QEMU....
