Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] make -kernel optional for all ARM boards
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 01:01:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379980897-21277-1-git-send-email-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)

Make -kernel optional for all ARM boards, by allowing
arm_load_kernel() to return without doing anything if no
kernel filename was provided. In this case we will start
execution at address zero (as the hardware does). This
allows the user to provide a flash image or similar on
some boards; in particular it's possible to run a UEFI
image on the versatile express boards.

The second patch tidies up a few boards which had already
effectively provided this flexibility at the board level.
