I guess we could do something like that on ppc, too (and ppc-softmmu.mak

that's something for QEMU 2.10 / 3.0 / whichever version will be next.
Yeah, definitely 2.10 material (so is this whole series, but
let's not tangle it up with an unrelated cleanup).
Thanks for all the comments investigations and reviews, which were really
helpful. I'll test your suggestions and send another version if found to
be needed but I don't have access to real hardware to test on, so I can't
confirm this other than using images that are known to work on real
hardware and I only have those for PPC. So I cannot test LE guest more
than using the Linux images available on the net but can't guarantee those
are not buggy. The current version (however unlikely) does work for both
the more or less known good PPC images and the SH images I could find so
this is the most likely correct combination given the test cases. I'm
fairly sure the big endian case is correct and the SH LE case works better
with the images available so unless there's another image that is known to
work on SH, this is the best I could do.
If there is no chance to get this in for 2.9 (considering it changes a
relatively unmaintained and unused part, so the risk of breaking something
important is very low) then let's get back to this about a month from now
because no point to spend time on it if it just gets forgotten until the
next chance to get it merged. Unless you can take it during the freeze
I'll pick this up later when the window opens again. (By the way, the
planning link on the wiki still points to 2.8.)
