At least I know that versatileqemu on current u-boot-arm/master with
wemu-system-arm v1.2.0 works, with command line

	qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 128M -serial stdio -kernel
	u-boot -display none

And I just tested without '-display none', and still get the serial
prompt and U-Boot commands working.
