OK, so the typical invocation would be

qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -cpu cortex-a57 -m 1024 -net none
-nographic -bios .../path/to/QEMU_EFI.fd -hda
fat:rw:.../path/to/startup.nsh

The only complication compared to OVMF is that there is no separate
serial port for debug output vs console output, so everything is going
to come out of the same pipe, and grep'ing the console output for
meaningful strings may easily result in false positives. (-pflash
could be used as well, but doesn't really add anything in this case,
and QEMU for ARM has a quirk where pflash images must be exactly 64 MB
in size)

Thanks. But can I get these actions to trigger from my branch as well?
Or do I need special powers for that?
