Bug description:
  QEMU 7.0 supports KVM on RISC-V.
  Package u-boot-qemu supplies /usr/lib/u-boot/qemu-riscv64_smode/uboot.elf.

  That binary cannot be used to boot via qemu-system-riscv64 -kvm.

  File u-boot produced by qemu-riscv64_smode_defconfig with

  CONFIG_MTD_NOR_FLASH=n
  CONFIG_CMD_NET=n

  can be used to start U-Boot with qemu-system-riscv64 -kvm. But any
  virtio access leads to a crash leaving QEMU unresponsive.
