This struct is used in Inferno and has been for a long time; so it works.  
Launch qemu with '''-serial stdio''' and pass kernel the '''console=tty''' option. (UNTESTED).
It's also in the opcodes somewhat like what we did for EMMC on ARM.


struct Dev
Run qemu-arm:
  {
  '''$ qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 1024M -serial stdio -kernel build/coreboot.rom'''

* Do we want to expose or hide the block nature of some devces (i.e. force reading multiples of blocksize, or allow reading any number of bytes, with no alignment requirement) ?

Testing ARM coreboot under qemu-system-arm

Launch qemu with -serial stdio and pass kernel the console=tty option. (UNTESTED).

Run qemu-arm: 

$ qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 1024M -serial stdio -kernel build/coreboot.rom
