Felix Fietkau 1923d63318 malta: move to 4.4 kernel
Linux now has device tree support for malta.  The patch for correcting
/proc/iomem content is not needed now.  Previously it was

    root@(none):/# cat /proc/iomem
    00000000-00000fff : reserved
    00001000-000effff : System RAM
    000f0000-000fffff : reserved
    00100000-0fffefff : System RAM
      00100000-003f2b6b : Kernel code
      003f2b6c-00485937 : Kernel data
    ...

Now it's

    root@OpenWrt:/# cat /proc/iomem
    00000000-0fffefff : System RAM
      00100000-004a3297 : Kernel code
      004a3298-0057cfff : Kernel data
    ...

The kernel config was prepared as follows

 1. cp target/linux/malta/config-{3.18,4.4}
 2. make kernel_menuconfig CONFIG_TARGET=subtarget_platform

README

This Malta target is intended to be used with the Qemu emulator. It can be used
to prototype an OpenWrt firmware for MIPS processors. One could also use it to
troubleshoot MIPS applications without access to real hardware.

To use the images built by OpenWrt with qemu, use the following commands:

For the little-endian image:
qemu-system-mipsel -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -nographic -m 256

For the big-endian image:
qemu-system-mips -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-be-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -nographic -m 256

and enjoy the system bootin.
