Linaro QEMU branch

[Loïc Minier]

        Hey

 QEMU is really handy to try out OMAP and Versatile Express boot stuff;
 the Linaro QEMU version has patches (progressively being upstreamed)
 for OMAP support and allows emulating vexpress, overo, beaglexm and
 beagle boards which is a good collection already.  It's based of a
 modern QEMU commit and contains plenty of good fixes (all on their way
 to mainline).

 Get a tarball from:
    https://launchpad.net/qemu-linaro
 Source code at:
    http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=qemu/qemu-linaro.git;a=summary
    git://git.linaro.org/qemu/qemu-linaro.git
 (This is like a regular qemu git tree or tarball; usual QEMU
 documentation applies.)

 Binaries are available in Ubuntu and backports are in the
 linaro-maintainers/tools PPA.

 Some QEMU HowTos are hosted on the Linaro wiki, but they are a bit
 specific to Linaro images and tools to manipulate them.  Basically you
 can run a beagle xm SD image with:
    qemu-system-arm -M beaglexm -sd your.img
 (You might want to throw the serial line output directly on your
 terminal or disable graphics or various other things.)
   For vexpress, you can only boot by passing a kernel or ELF image to
 QEMU:
    qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel u-boot.bin

   Cheers,
