I've been considering that, and I think we are better off without splitting -append in semihosting mode because this is at least consistent with MIPS machines in QEMU (in non-semihosting mode) -- pseudo-bootloaders in MALTA and Fulong2e have hardcoded argc to 2 (-kernel and -append). Therefore I would leave it as it is unless we really need to change it. Leon
