Hello Bin,

when running qemu-x86_64_defconfig with

qemu-system-x86_64 -bios denx/u-boot.rom -machine pc-i440fx-2.5 --nographic

it hangs in an endless loop:

How did you succeed to reach the console?

There is a doc/README.x86 but nothing on x86_64. Could you, please, add
the missing information in said README.x86.

I could not find qemu-x86_64_defconfig in .travis.yml. Shouldn't we try
to run the target there too?

I am using Debian Buster:
gcc 8.2.0
qemu 2.12.0

Best regards
