ppc64el support for autopkgtest-build-qemu (#926945)

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/bug926945 into master
  • Set kernel release name for ppc64el

    From: Thierry Fauck

    Partially addresses #926945.

    [smcv: Split out from a larger commit]

  • autopkgtest-build-qemu: Generalize --efi into --boot=

    This will let us add --boot=ieee1275. While I'm here, add --boot=none for porting new architectures: in this case developers will have to set up the bootloader via --script, or directly boot a suitable kernel with autopkgtest-virt-qemu --qemu-options='-kernel ...'.

  • autopkgtest-build-qemu: Add grub-ieee1275 support, default on ppc64el

    Very loosely based on a patch by Thierry Fauck.

    Co-authored-by: Thierry Fauck
    Thanks: Christian Kastner
    Closes: #926945
