[pve-devel] [PATCH 0/7] Work around QEMU 5.2 windows incompatibility

[Stefan Reiter <s.reiter@proxmox.com>]

...and make machine version configurable in the GUI, to allow users to return to
the default behaviour of always using the latest one.

The workaround is based on a postinst script running when upgrading the
qemu-server package, which sets the machine version of all effected Windows VMs
to pc-(i440fx|q35)-5.1 to pin them to the last version still using the old ACPI
table layout.

Note: the postinst patch requires Fabian's #3301 series:
