AST2600 Aspeed machines have an home made boot loader for secondaries.
To improve support, export the internal ARM boot loader and use it
instead.

It comes from this discussion :

   https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20221222215549.86872-1-philmd@linaro.org/

I will leave Phil handle it. The patch is on the list now.

Thanks,

C.
