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)

Run the emulation with:

  qemu-system-arm -M nuri -kernel output/images/zImage -append "console=ttySAC1,115200" -smp 2 -serial null -serial stdio

The login prompt will appear in the terminal that started Qemu. The
graphical window is the framebuffer.

Startup time is slow because of the SMP CPU emulation so be patient.
This emulation is known to be flaky.

Tested with QEMU 2.3.0
