Oh ok. This was the only configuration that I got working.

Will do.

That is an artifact on how KUnit starts qemu. It should not matter.

Understood. Let's try to have both.

Ack. Could you take care of this? I have next to no idea about microblaze.

Thanks, unfortunately this hangs for me with my distros QEMU 11.1.0.
No output, 100% CPU usage during boot. I am using qemu-system-microblaze
instead of qemu-system-microblazel, as the latter is not available
anymore, but the former is documented to also handle little endian
automatically.
