Eelco Dolstra 170331be30 * Don't use /hostfs to signal the test driver that a VM is up, but
write some magic string to ttyS0.  This removes the dependency on
  having a CIFS mount.
* Use a thread to process the stdout/stderr of each QEMU instance.
* Add a kernel command line parameter "stage1panic" to tell stage 1 to
  panic if an error occurs.  This is faster than waiting until
  connect() times out.
