What I mean is that I need for userspace calling `reboot(RB_AUTOBOOT);` to actually result in QEMU being told to reboot the system. Sounds like that's not possible (yet?) in 9.1? The last hurdle I'm having, in addition to that one, is getting the second serial port working. The kernel test suite that I'm running in CI for /dev/urandom development and wireguard development does `-serial stdio -serial chardev:result`, where the first serial is the normal output for logging, and the second one is the test result, so I can get that from the VM via a clean channel. This works well on other architectures, but on loongarch, it's failing to open /dev/ttyS1 the same way that it can open /dev/ttyS0.
