Yeah, that's what I wanted to know. But looking at it, I'm booting
bzImage here just as quickly and as flexible so I don't see the
advantage of this new method for my use case here of booting kernels
in qemu.

But maybe there's a good use case where firmware is slow and one doesn't
really wanna noodle through it or when one does start a gazillion VMs
per second or whatever...

Thx.
