[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/s390x/ipl: Fix crash that occurs when -kernel is used with small images

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

Add a sanity check to fix the following crash:

$ echo "Insane in the mainframe" > /tmp/test.txt
$ s390x-softmmu/qemu-system-s390x -nographic -kernel /tmp/test.txt
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
