Agreed.  I don't much like the qvmloader idea.  I did want to open up
discussion on the possibility, however.  The only advantage it has
over coreboot is that it could reasonably live in the qemu repo, and I
do think that the hardware descriptions should like in the same code
repo as the hardware implementation.
