Subject: mptable no longer errors out if it doesn't find the mptable target area
X-Git-Url: http://v3vee.org/palacios/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=palacios.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=aabc934443b56e393ff21430545257c50c3d4392

mptable no longer errors out if it doesn't find the mptable target area
in the VM.  This area does not exist if the seabios is used.  With this fix
if you have an mptable in a VM that is instantiated with seabios, it will just
not create an mptable.  instead, the seabios will create one
