[Qemu-devel] [PULL 19/37] Revert "armv7m: Guard against no -kernel argument"

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

This reverts commit 01fd41ab3fb69971c24a69ed49cde96086d81278.

The generic loader device (-device loader,file=kernel.bin) can be used
to load a kernel instead of the -kernel option.  Some boards have flash
memory (pflash) that is set via the -pflash or -drive options.

Allow starting QEMU without the -kernel option to accommodate these
scenarios.
