Please make the kernel pick the device out of the device tree blob. The whole point of device tree is that it's how to tell the kernel where things live -- making kvmtool/QEMU and/or the user also have to mess with the kernel command line is awkward and annoying. -- PMM -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
