Since full revert is hard, a simple config changes on top
of 2024.04 fixes this:

So should users apply this as config snippet or patch if they plan to
boot with qemu and kvm?
I'm using yocto and genericarm64 machine target to build on native
aarch64 and then run the resulting u-boot and kernel+initrd+rootfs
from wic image using:
$ sudo
/home/builder/src/base/repo/poky/build_genericarm64/tmp/work/aarch64-linux/qemu-helper-native/1.0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64

(sudo due to not being in kvm group yet)
