These series of patchs implement Intel Hexadecimal File loader and
add QTest testcase to verify the correctness of Loader.

v1: Basic version.
v2: Replace `do{}while(cond);` block with `for(;;)` block to
suppress code style complain.

Su Hang (2):
  Implement .hex file loader
  Add QTest testcase for the Intel Hexadecimal Object File Loader.

This patch adds Intel Hexadecimal Object File format support to
the loader.  The file format specification is available here:
http://www.piclist.com/techref/fileext/hex/intel.htm

The file format is mainly intended for embedded systems
and microcontrollers, such as Arduino, ARM, STM32, etc.

'test.hex' file is a bare metal ARM software stored in Hexadecimal
Object Format. When it's loaded by QEMU, it will print "Hello world!\n"
on console.

`pre_store` array in 'hexloader-test.c' file, stores the binary format
of 'test.hex' file, which is used to verify correctness.

Better than rewriting code to work around a false positive is to fix the
false positive in the first place.  And I see you have a patch proposed
for that, but it was still marked RFC; unfortunately, during freeze,
patches that are marked RFC tend to be deferred in favor of patches
marked 'for-2.12' (RFC means the patch may be incomplete, and there's no
rush to get an incomplete patch in before the release, after all).  I'll
reply on that patch, now that it's got my attention; but for this
particular series, I'm more comfortable leaving the review to the
maintainer, modulo one comment:

This creates new files that are not covered by MAINTAINERS.  Please be
sure to patch MAINTAINERS as well in your v3.

Thanks for your reply! Owning to cultural difference, I used to regard “RFC” as a way of show modest...
I will apply your suggestion in v3.

Best,
