Thomas Petazzoni 5edce69188 configs/qemu_sh4*: switch back to disk emulation
Back in commit
44a6b7866c ("configs/qemu_sh4*: switch
to initramfs"), the Qemu SuperH defconfigs were switched to initramfs
due to a bug in the Qemu disk emulation.

However, the initramfs solution has an issue: if the initramfs is
slightly too large (like just 6 MB!), the system no longer boots.

Since the disk emulation problem has apparently been resolved in Qemu
10 (according to testing), let's switch back to this.

In addition to essentially reverting
44a6b7866c, we also need to adjust the
kernel configuration so that the kernel takes its command line for the
bootloader (in our case from the Qemu -append option). Otherwise an
hardcoded command line is used, which doesn't mount /dev/sda as the
root filesystem.

This update has been tested on Gitlab CI:

Thanks to Romain Naour for pointing to the initramfs size as being the
issue.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
