It wasn't added to buildroot because there were different opinions on how it should be implemented, most developers wanted it integrated with the main qemu package, i wanted to keep it split because of emulation bugs for each different platform. > @Gustavo, I?m wondering if you perhaps have a more recent, (private) > patch that you are willing to share? > > Thanks in advance, > > Kind regards, > > Simon It's somewhat bitrot since i'm using a different approach to qemu config testing, and not too different than the last version that i've sent to the list, it surely doesn't apply to master as it is.
