[PATCH v3 4/7] hw/core: implement a guest-loader to support static hypervisor guests

[Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hypervisors, especially type-1 ones, need the firmware/bootcode to put
their initial guest somewhere in memory and pass the information to it
via platform data. The guest-loader is modelled after the generic
loader for exactly this sort of purpose:

  $QEMU $ARGS  -kernel ~/xen.git/xen/xen \
    -append "dom0_mem=1G,max:1G loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all" \
    -device guest-loader,addr=0x42000000,kernel=Image,bootargs="root=/dev/sda2 
ro console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen" \
    -device guest-loader,addr=0x47000000,initrd=rootfs.cpio
