[okl4-developer] legacy OS

[Nelson Tam]

Hi Antonin,

When you build OKL4 and specify qemu as the execution target, it will  
modify the final OKL4 image depending on the target architecture.  On  
ia32 for example, it will use grub to write to the boot sector on the  
boot image.

I think the best approach would be to compile your legacy OS into a  
standalone ELF file, and get elfweaver to weave that along with other  
OKL4 binaries, and let the OKL4 build system do the tricks for making  
it bootable on qemu.
