[PATCH 7/19] bhyve: add basl support for checksums

[corvink]

Summary

The qemu ACPI table loader patches the ACPI tables. After patching them,
checksums aren't correct any more. It has to calculate a new checksum
for the ACPI table. For that reason, basl has to keep track of checksums
and has to cause the qemu loader to create new checksums for the tables.

The qemu ACPI table loader isn't supported yet. However, the address of all tables is unknown as long as bhyve hasn't finished ACPI table creation. So, the checksum of tables which include pointer to other tables are unknown too. This requires tracking of checksums too.

This is the 7. patch required to merge D36983

In the final version we have a bunch of different lists, each is 1-to-1 with the table list. Why don't you embed these structures in struct basl_table instead, so there's only one list and no need for backpointers everywhere?

• rebase
• turn basl_checksums into a member variable of basl_table to avoid global variables and backpointer

I would maybe merge this comment with the comment below (so you don't need a separate comment below) by just saying that the second one updates the checksums in the installed tables.

Nevermind, I see how it factors into later commits.
