Gustavo Zacarias bb16580a46 configs/qemu: bump to the latest linux version
ppc-mpc8544ds: switch to custom kernel config since the new 4.3-shipped
mpc85xx_basic_defconfig doesn't work with Qemu.
Incidentally while cleaning it up it now seems to work fine with newer
qemu versions.

sparc64_sun4u: ditch ne2k driver since it's useless, and add the e1000
driver which works fine.

x86: stick to 4.2.x kernels since 4.3 doesn't work right with uclibc
(any variant) based toolchains.

(1) - Supposed to work but broken, probably Qemu emulation issue
(2) - In like 1/3 runs it fails to start properly
(3) - linux 4.3.0 doesn't like uclibc-based toolchains (net issues)

readme.txt configs/qemu: bump to the latest linux version 2015-11-11 23:36:39 +01:00

Run the emulation with:

 qemu-system-ppc -M virtex-ml507 -kernel output/images/vmlinux -m 256 -nographic -append "console=ttyS0" -dtb output/images/virtex440-ml507.dtb

The login prompt will appear in the terminal that started Qemu.

Tested with QEMU 2.3.0
