Yeah, for this particular change, sure. I don't have QEMU set up however
at the moment and would have to take some time to sort it, and it won't do
for peripherals it doesn't implement. The failure is a fresh problem and
I yet need to figure out what to do about it. A bad coincidence I guess
as I have MIPS hardware 10 years older that still goes strong.
