Several problems with this one, I'm afraid:

(1) g_array_set_clear_func() used in bios-linker-loader.c is only
in glib 2.32, which is later than our glib minimum of 2.22.

(2) Failed qom-test on ppc64 Linux host:

  /aarch64/qom/sx1:                                                    OK
  /aarch64/qom/sx1-v1:                                                 OK
  /aarch64/qom/virt-2.6:
qemu-system-aarch64:
/home/pm215/qemu/hw/acpi/bios-linker-loader.c:261:
bios_linker_loader_add_pointer: Assertion `src_offset <
source_file->blob->len' failed.
Broken pipe
FAIL
GTester: last random seed: R02S00f9ecb17f4cf57fb103f2569e791bb8
(pid=21038)

Presumably an endianness bug somewhere.
