I've switched this to bitbake @ -c qemuimagetest_standalone, so this shouldn't create a rootfs and should use the one already existing. We should see some performance improvement with this. I thought this had been included in my pull with BB 0.8.3 but I must have not included it.

Were we talking build or boot for this one ? The slow boot is only
being seen during auto-tests, and I've never reproduced it here.

I'm looking for someone who has time to debug this by tweaking
the kernel configuration, but as for what we produce for qemuppc
the configuration is sane and boots fine. Does anyone who can
reproduce this have time to look into it a bit more, or get me
access to a reproducing environment ?
