[RFC PATCH] Add palmetto target to runqemu

[Andrew Jeffery]

Hi all,

The patches modelling a bare-bones AST2400 in QEMU have been merged into
master for the upcoming 2.6 release. Attached is a half-hearted attempt at
integrating the necessary bits into openbmc so we can `bitbake
obmc-phosphor-image` then `runqemu palmetto` to boot the BMC kernel and some
representation of the userspace.

I'm not sure if the hacks I've made to runqemu{,-internal} are the right
approach or even something we'd want to carry going forward. Similarly, a
wholesale switch to qemu_git.bb might be a bit extreme - any thoughts there? I
must admit I haven't tried applying the AST2400 patches to 2.4, maybe that's a
better approach? Regardless, depending on 2.6 when it gets released is
prefereble, but that's probably a month or so away.

I'll split the patches up in the future, just wanted to get this on the list
for some feedback.

Cheers,

Andrew
