Adrian Freihofer 0e4c79a7c4 runqemu: QB_FSINFO to support fstype wic images
wic images are handled as vmtype images. Starting qemu with "-kernel"
parameter and an image of type wic is not supported. Especially for
"-machine virt" the combination of wic with -kernel parameter would
be beneficial.

The new parameter QB_FSINFO allows to pass image type specific flags to
runqemu. QB_FSINFO is a space separated list of parameters. Parameters are
structured according to the following pattern: image-type:flag.

For now two parameters are supported:
- wic:no-kernel-in-fs
  The wic image is treated as rootfs only image. A -kernel option is
  passed to qemu.
- wic:kernel-in-fs
  The wic image is treated as VM image including a bootloader and a
  kernel. This is still the default behavior.

Example:
QB_DEFAULT_FSTYPE = "wic"
QB_FSINFO = "wic:no-kernel-in-fs"
QB_KERNEL_ROOT = "/dev/vda1"
QB_SYSTEM_NAME = "qemu-system-aarch64"
QB_MACHINE = "-machine virt"

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
