Thomas Petazzoni 11050d908d board/qemu/ppc64le-pseries: make Qemu command similar to ppc64-pseries
In particular:

 - Explicitly specify the CPU to be used, POWER8, which matches
   qemu_ppc64le_pseries_defconfig

 - Use hard disk emulation to access the root filesystem instead of an
   initrd.

Run the emulation with:

qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries -cpu POWER8 -m 256 -kernel output/images/vmlinux -append "console=hvc0 root=/dev/sda" -drive file=output/images/rootfs.ext2,if=scsi,index=0,format=raw -serial stdio -display curses

The login prompt will appear in the terminal window.

Tested with QEMU 2.10.0
