I find a good rule of thumb for architecture specific/board specific code is that if other boards/architectures don't do a particular thing, it's usually better to be consistent with the rest of QEMU, rather than introducing an innovation. "Try to load as an ELF file; if that didn't work fall back to loading as a raw image" is what other parts of QEMU do, and they don't complain about doing it. Otherwise, every user of raw images gets a spurious complaint that their raw image isn't an ELF file... thanks -- PMM
