I see Bruce brought this up on qemu ml [1].  Seems removing boot=on when
using linuxboot.bin is preferred solution.  I'm attaching a hack that
allows me to pass the libvirt-tck domain tests but would really like
comment from someone familiar with code, particularly the bootindex
stuff in qemu-kvm.

Thanks!
