Just wondering if it would be worth adding a "QB_KERNEL_OPT" similar
to how QB_ROOTFS_OPT works. This way the "none" would not be needed
and it would allow for using the "-device loader" arg for machines
that boot that way.
e.g.
QB_KERNEL_OPT = "-kernel @KERNEL@"
or
QB_KERNEL_OPT = "-device loader,addr=0xdeadbeef,file=@KERNEL@"
or (if not able to load kernel, aka 'none')
QB_KERNEL_OPT = ""
