+O-Subject: [RHEL-7.0.z seabios PATCH 1/1] smbios: set bios vendor/version fields to Seabios/0.5.1
+Bugzilla: 1124216
+RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@redhat.com>
+RH-Acked-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>
+RH-Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
+
+Mimic rhel6/seabios commit 1389643dad35a63362cd7d8357693f01175ef473.
+Affects all 6.x and 7.0 machine types.
+
+Note: 7.1+ machine types will switch over to the new-style smbios
+handling in qemu 2.1 + seabios 1.7.5 (and ovmf), where seabios will
+fill in the actual version information instead of the bogous 0.5.1
+which we are using here for backward compatibility reasons.
