I believe so.  I ran the same test a few days ago and it worked fine.
I'm trying qemux86 now with this latest tree.  After that, I could
try reverting the change you mention.

Any clues how to get "under the covers" when booting a qemu image?
Once it brings up the video/splash screen, I'm in the dark as to
what's going on.
