Adrian Freihofer 2f6a47c4d4 runqemu: support multiple NICs
Emulating more than one network interface with runqemu is a bit tricky,
but possible. For example, the following leads to an emulated device with
eth0 and eth1:

QB_NETWORK_DEVICE_prepend = " \
    -device virtio-net-device,mac=52:54:00:12:34:03 \
"

or

QB_NETWORK_DEVICE_append = " \
    -device virtio-net-pci,mac=52:54:00:12:34:03 \
"

When booting Qemu with two NICs, the kernel does not know which
interface the specified ip=192.168.7.... command line argument
should be applied. This delays the boot process for a very long
time and a guest wihtout IP configuration.

This add two new configuraton parameters to runqemu:
QB_CMDLINE_IP_SLIRP and QB_CMDLINE_IP_TAP to explicitely specify the ip=
kernel command line arguments for tap and slirp mode.

Note: Simply adding "::eth0" broke some builds on the Yocto autobuilder.

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.
