This issue has been fixed in build 5206 of the FVP v8 Foundation model
0.8. (Apparently released on November 14th or after.)
I can now boot the Linaro OpenEmbedded image on it (with this series
applied) using virtio-blk only; no semi-hosting is necessary for the
kernel image or the device tree binary.
Thanks,
