Hello @MHM98, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

Hello! Gemini here, providing a summary of this pull request to help everyone get up to speed quickly.

This pull request aims to address issue #2588 by modifying the kvm-qemu.sh installer script. Based on the title, it appears to be applying changes related to PR #1634 back into the script. Specifically, the change involves adjusting the list of files processed by the replace_seabios_clues_public function.

Highlights

• Modifies KVM Installer Script: Changes are made to the installer/kvm-qemu.sh script, which is part of the KVM installation process.
• Adjusts String Replacement Logic: A specific file, src/fw/paravirt.c, is commented out from the list of files where the script replaces 'QEMU' strings within the replace_seabios_clues_public function.

Changelog

• installer/kvm-qemu.sh
  • Commented out src/fw/paravirt.c from the FILES array in the replace_seabios_clues_public function (line 781). This excludes this file from the string replacement process.

Code Review

This pull request modifies the kvm-qemu.sh installer script by commenting out src/fw/paravirt.c from a list of files processed by a sed command. The stated purpose is to address issue #2588 and revert a change from #1634.

The change itself is straightforward, but adding a small inline comment would significantly improve maintainability by providing context directly in the code for future reference.

Summary of Findings

• Maintainability: Missing inline comment for change: The script installer/kvm-qemu.sh was modified to exclude src/fw/paravirt.c from a string replacement operation. An inline comment explaining the reason for this exclusion (referencing issue KVM vm does not see more than 2GB of memory. #2588) would improve code clarity and maintainability.

Merge Readiness

The pull request makes a targeted change to address a specific issue. However, to enhance the maintainability and clarity of the codebase, I recommend adding an inline comment as suggested. Once this minor change is incorporated, the PR should be in good shape for further review and merging. As a reviewer, I am not authorized to approve pull requests.

[gemini-code-assist]

This change comments out src/fw/paravirt.c, preventing the replacement of "QEMU" strings within it. While the PR description and title reference issues #2588 and #1634, it would be beneficial for long-term maintainability to include a brief inline comment here.

Could you add a comment explaining why this specific file is excluded from the string replacement? This would help future developers understand the reasoning without needing to track down external issue trackers or PRs, especially concerning its impact on VM detection capabilities.

Suggested change
