Unfortunately, I only tested qemu-system-x86_64 booting via EFI and just now came to
find out this breaks booting without EFI in both qemu-system-i386 and
qemu-system-x86_64 (just defconfig for both images):

$ qemu-system-i386 \
-d unimp,guest_errors \
-kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
-append "console=ttyS0 earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8" \
-cpu host \
-enable-kvm \
-smp 8 \
-display none \
-initrd .../boot-utils-ro/images/x86/rootfs.cpio \
-m 512m \
-nodefaults \
-no-reboot \
-serial mon:stdio

There is no output, which I suppose makes sense since we are very early
in boot. Sorry for missing this initially, I'll ramp up my testing for
future patches.

Cheers,
Nathan
