Paul Eggleton 4955fe19ab runqemu: log parameters correctly within testimage
It is not a good idea to mix logging and calls to print() - if the
output is being captured the result can be that the two types of output
are not recorded contiguously; this could be observed if an error
occurred running runqemu from inside testimage:

---------- snip ----------
ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_testimage: Output from runqemu:
runqemu - INFO - Continuing with the following parameters:

runqemu - INFO - Setting up tap interface under sudo
sudo: a terminal is required to read the password; either use the -S option to read from standard input or configure an askpass helper
runqemu - ERROR - Setting up tap device failed:
Command '('sudo', '/home/paul/poky/poky/scripts/runqemu-ifup', '1000', '1000', '/home/paul/poky/poky/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-helper-native/1.0-r1/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin')' returned non-zero exit status 1.
Run runqemu-gen-tapdevs to manually create one.

MACHINE: [qemux86-64]

CONFFILE: [/home/paul/poky/poky/build/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/core-image-minimal-qemux86-64.qemuboot.conf]
---------- snip ----------

What we should see here is the KERNEL, MACHINE, etc. lines appearing
immediately after the "Continuing with the following parameters:" line
as they do when you run runqemu directly. If we put all of the lines
through the logger instead then it works properly.

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.
