Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/10] alpha: Notice if we're being run under QEMU
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:34:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1373996058-13399-3-git-send-email-rth@twiddle.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1373996058-13399-1-git-send-email-rth@twiddle.net>

When building a generic kernel, do a run-time check on the serial
number, like we do for MILO.  When building a custom kernel, make
this a configure-time check.
