02:09:26 <oninoshiko> Yes, andy linked the code. I'm saying that should be the default, not just when you specify the type value.
02:11:06 <oninoshiko> Linux or BSD or whatever shouldn't have a problem with the LPC being on 31... so why not remove code-paths that don't add any value?
18:52:53 <oninoshiko> Unless there's a reason not to, I might make the requisite changes and do a pull request.
18:57:29 <andyf> I think the biggest thing to consider is how existing VMs will deal with it shifting under them.
19:00:17 <oninoshiko> hmm... I would expect it to be dealt with sanely. Changing mainboards has been a thing since I've been in computing (going back to the 90s)
19:00:59 <oninoshiko> and it would be equivelent to that.
19:02:38 <oninoshiko> I can test it on say, Ubuntu and FreeBSD. Anything else you think I should confirm it on?
19:11:21 <andyf> That's an open ended question unfortunately. There are people running DOS variants in bhyve VMs for example. I don't know the history of why the lpc was put where it is for non-windows guests, but it's always possible there's a system out there that depends on it.
