Lets reinvent the wheel too...

This should work just the same as 
poky-runqemu tmp/deploy/images/bzImage-qemux86.bin tmp/deploy/images/bootstrap-image-qemux86-20070112211142.rootfs.ext2

(except the same command works with qemuarm and several zaurus images if
you have the right qemu)

Note you have to use an ext2 image, not a gzipped one but my setup
generates ext2 files, not ext2.gz ones...

Anyone developing a kernel finds it useful, otherwise just ignore it.
