Mathew McBride 6ae235bcd0 armsr: remove 'console=tty1' from kernel command line
We have modified the kernel to setup all "default" consoles,
including serial ports and framebuffers/screens, providing
no console= argument is supplied on the kernel command line.

Adding 'console=tty1' caused the 'default' serial port on
device tree systems to break, as the kernel would not carry
over the settings (like baud rate) from the bootloader.

The system administrator can still force the use of a
specific console by adding their own console= arguments.

This target generates images that can be used on ARM machines with EFI
support (e.g EDKII/TianoCore or U-Boot with bootefi).

There are two subtargets:
- armv7 for 32-bit machines
- armv8 for 64-bit machines

The kernel and filesystem images can also be used directly by QEMU:

Run with qemu-system-arm

	# boot with initramfs embedded in
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-initramfs-kernel.bin

	# boot with accel=kvm
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt,accel=kvm -cpu host -m 64 -kernel
	openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-initramfs-kernel.bin

	# boot with a separate rootfs
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-kernel.bin \
	  -drive file=openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-ext4-rootfs.img,format=raw,if=virtio -append 'root=/dev/vda rootwait'

	# boot with local dir as rootfs
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-kernel.bin \
	  -fsdev local,id=rootdev,path=root-armsr/,security_model=none \
	  -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=rootdev,mount_tag=/dev/root \
	  -append 'rootflags=trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,cache=loose rootfstype=9p'

Run with kvmtool

	# start a named machine
	lkvm run -k openwrt-armsr-armv7-zImage -i openwrt-armsr-armv7-rootfs.cpio --name armsr0

	# start with virtio-9p rootfs
	lkvm run -k openwrt-armsr-armv7-zImage -d root-armsr/

	# stop "armsr0"
	lkvm stop --name armsr0

	# stop all
	lkvm stop --all

The multi-platform ARMv8 target can be used with QEMU:

	qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic \
		-kernel openwrt-armsr-armv8-generic-initramfs-kernel.bin \

With a EDKII or U-Boot binary for the QEMU ARM virtual machines, you can use these
images in EFI mode:

32-bit:
gunzip -c bin/targets/armsr/armv7/openwrt-armsr-armv7-generic-ext4-combined-efi.img.gz > openwrt-arm-32.img
qemu-system-arm -nographic \
    -cpu cortex-a15 -machine virt \
    -bios bin/targets/armsr/armv7/u-boot-qemu_armv7/u-boot.bin \
    -smp 1 -m 1024 \
    -device virtio-rng-pci \
    -drive file=openwrt-arm-32.img,format=raw,index=0,media=disk \
    -netdev user,id=testlan -net nic,netdev=testlan \
    -netdev user,id=testwan -net nic,netdev=testwan

64-bit:
gunzip -c bin/targets/armsr/armv8/openwrt-armsr-armv8-generic-ext4-combined-efi.img.gz > openwrt-arm-64.img
qemu-system-aarch64 -nographic \
    -cpu cortex-a53 -machine virt \
    -bios bin/targets/armsr/armv8/u-boot-qemu_armv8/u-boot.bin \
    -smp 1 -m 1024 \
    -device virtio-rng-pci \
    -drive file=openwrt-arm-64.img,format=raw,index=0,media=disk \
    -netdev user,id=testlan -net nic,netdev=testlan \
    -netdev user,id=testwan -net nic,netdev=testwan

One can obtain other EFI/BIOS binaries from:
- Distribution packages (such as qemu-efi-arm and qemu-efi-aarch64 in Debian)
- Community builds, like retrage/edk2-nightly: https://retrage.github.io/edk2-nightly/
