Good morning Christoph,

Yep, the above works.

My setup is a buildroot qemu_aarch64_virt_defconfig booting from an
emulated nvme device:

  qemu-system-aarch64 -M "virt" -cpu "cortex-a53" -m 512M \
    -nodefaults -nographic -snapshot -no-reboot \
    -kernel images/Image \
    -append "root=/dev/nvme0n1 console=ttyAMA0,115200" \
    -drive file=images/rootfs.ext2,format=raw,if=none,id=d0 \
    -device nvme,serial=default,drive=d0 \
    -nic user,model=virtio \
    -serial stdio
