Hi

I'm keen to try resizable bar in a Windows 10 guest with passed-through GPU.

So far as I know this commit gets it into EDK2 (which if I understand correctly is the source for OVMF BIOS in Promox/QEMU): https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/1351

It looks like Proxmox 6.4 has 2.2020 from https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-edk2-firmware.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master

I also checked on my PVE host (in a slightly hacky way - would love to know a more direct way to confirm):

Code:
strings -10 /usr/share/pve-edk2-firmware/OVMF_CODE.fd | grep -i firm
/root/sources/pve/pve-edk2-firmware/pve-edk2-firmware-2.20200531/Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/OvmfPkg/Sec/SecMain/DEBUG/SecMain.dll

Anyway - how do I know what version might be next in the roadmap?

The other issue is that (I think) QEMU explicitly disabled this here https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/3412d8ec9810b819f8b79e8e0c6b87217c876e32

So would have to revert/patch that too.

cc @Thomas Lamprecht as from the commit log you seem to be the last person to bump this.
