Public bug reported:
When using the -kernel option QEMU fails with "Error while fetching elf
kernel from rom" when the ELF file contains a segment with a file size
of 0. This is typical for segments containing only a .bss section.
rom_copy (hw/core/loader.c) fails to load roms (elf segments in this
case) with a datasize of 0 - it skips the rom because rom->data is NULL.
This bug is introduced by commit
d60fa42e8bae39440f997ebfe8fe328269a57d16 'Save memory allocation in the
elf loader' and affects QEMU v1.5.0 and later.
I'll send a patch for this bug to qemu-devel.
