[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] spapr: support only ELF kernel images

[Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru>]

Currently everybody uses ELF kernel images with "-kernel" option on
pseries machine but QEMU still tries to boot from an image even it
fails to recognize it is ELF. This produces undefined behaviour if
the user tries a kernel image compiled for another architecture.

This removes support of raw kernel images.
