Well, I'm not having any luck getting sparc qemu to work. Here's what
I'm trying with a sparc32_defconfig kernel:

$ qemu-system-sparc -kernel .build-sparc/vmlinux -M SS-4 -nographic -m
256 -no-reboot
rom: requested regions overlap (rom phdr #0: .build-sparc/vmlinux.
free=0x000000000000057a, addr=0x0000000000000000)
qemu-system-sparc: rom check and register reset failed

Using zImage or image file didn't work any better.

Then I tried sticking the kernel in a disk image, but that didn't get
much farther.
