It can read disk filesystems, and Buildroot supports it, so we could in theory put it into memory, and let it find a kernel image from the root filesystem and boot that, but I didn't manage to get it working yet: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58028789/how-to-boot-linux-aarch64-with-u-boot-with-buildroot-on-qemu
