Not really just testing this defconfig under Qemu, but having ACPI tables and
other features enabled by EFI and grub when booting the system under Qemu.
The current qemu_aarch64_virt_defconfig boot with just the kernel, so ACPI
tables are missing and the plig and play support is disabled.
dmesg:
ACPI: Interpreter disabled.
[...]
pnp: PnP ACPI: disabled
For example, ACPI and hotplug support is required to use QEMU Virtual NVDIMM
-device nvdimm,id=nvdimm1,memdev=mem1
Instead of renaming aarch64_efi_defconfig, we can enable UEFI and grub in the
qemu_aarch64_virt_defconfig itself. But it still require the QEMU_EFI.fd
firmware, either built by Buildroot (complex hand written build system) or
fetched from Linaro.
Best regards,
Romain
