[PATCH] runqemu: Ensure ROOTFS path is absolute

[PATCH] runqemu: Ensure ROOTFS path is absolute

[Saul Wold]

There is a problem if a relative path is passed to the kernel for NFS usage
that it will not correctly find it, so ensure that the ROOTFS path is absolute.

I think this change also means we need to add dependency on realpath package as prerequisite for build host.

realpath is part of coreutils. Another alternative would be readlink -f (but 
that also appears to be part of coreutils.)

Looks like busybox should provide realpath:

realpath is package of its own not coreutils, at least on ubuntu

this might be better options since coreutils is more or less
given on any distro

On CentOS 6.5 realpath is not part of coreutils and is not part of a 
default repo. I could find it only on RPMforge.

Added https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5879 on this matter.
