[PATCH] qemu: ppc: if not a uImage, try to load kernel as ELF

[ehrhardt-23VcF4HTsmIX0ybBhKVfKdBPR1lH4CV8]

From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb-r/Jw6+rmf7HQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>

This allows qemu to load "bare metal" ELF kernels, useful for standalone
benchmarks and testcases.

We could/should also load the specified file as a flat binary, if both uImage
and ELF loaders fail. (See hw/arm_boot.c.)
