It seems like this series is now in qemu.git, but I still can't boot
using -kernel.
I'm starting qemu as:
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-m 1500 -enable-kvm \
-kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
-drive
file=/dev/vg00/qemu-root,if=virtio,media=disk,cache=none,aio=threads \
-drive
file=/dev/vg00/qemu-data,if=virtio,media=disk,cache=none,aio=threads \
-drive file=/root/test1.img,if=scsi,media=disk,cache=none \
-append "root=/dev/vda console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400n8"
and it simply hangs with a black screen once the SDL window opens
