I don't think the image is relevant because I don't even get to kernel
code. If the kernel will complain about no init later, that's fine.
Re bios, this version of qemu already has OpenSBI bios builtin, you
can pass -bios default, but that's, well, the default :)
Here are more reproducible repro instructions that capture gcc and
qemu. I think gcc version may be potentially relevant as I suspect
code size.
