Applied to master, thanks.

Are you interested by Qemu defconfigs in general ? They used to be
maintained by Gustavo Zacarias, but now that Gustavo is no longer
active, we lack a maintainer for those defconfigs.

It would be nice to have someone who regularly updates those
defconfigs, checking along the way that they work fine under Qemu.

Would you be interested in doing this ? It would be very useful for the
Buildroot project.

Thanks!

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

I am away for the next 10 days, but will then look into the other qemu
defconfigs
and check if I find useful additions to them.

best regards,

Florian La Roche
