For which machine, the new qemuarm or the qemuarmv5? I'm guessing you
mean the latter?

We perhaps could/should but it isn't set now so I'd suggest it be done
in a separate patch.

I would like to see u-boot being used in more builds but if we don't
actually test/use the binary, its not so useful and that would mean
further changes?

Cheers,
