Tests' images created in ./<ARCH>/*.flat
An example of a test invocation:
-qemu-system-x86_64 -device testdev,chardev=testlog -chardev file,id=testlog,path=msr.out -serial stdio -kernel ./x86/msr.flat
+Using qemu-kvm:
+
+qemu-kvm -device testdev,chardev=testlog -chardev file,id=testlog,path=msr.out -serial stdio -kernel ./x86/msr.flat
This invocation runs the msr test case. The test outputs to stdio.
+Using qemu (supported since qemu 1.3):
+qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -device pc-testdev -serial stdio -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x4 -kernel ./x86/msr.flat
+Or use a runner script to detect the correct invocation:
+./x86-run ./x86/msr.flat
+To select a specific qemu binary, specify the QEMU=<path> environment:
+QEMU=/tmp/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 ./x86-run ./x86/msr.flat
