while playing with "runqemu", i noticed that the generated
"qemu-system-arm" command contained two "-no-reboot" options in it,
apparently because of this in runqemu-internal:

first:

if [ "$MACHINE" = "qemuarm" -o "$MACHINE" = "qemuarmv6" -o "$MACHINE" = "qemuarmv7" ]; then
QEMU=qemu-system-arm
MACHINE_SUBTYPE=versatilepb
QEMU_UI_OPTIONS="$QEMU_UI_OPTIONS"
# QEMU_UI_OPTIONS="$QEMU_UI_OPTIONS -force-pointer"
if [ "$FSTYPE" = "ext3" -o "$FSTYPE" = "btrfs" ]; then
KERNCMDLINE="root=/dev/sda rw console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty $KERNEL_NETWORK_CMD mem=$QEMU_MEMORY highres=off"
QEMUOPTIONS="$QEMU_NETWORK_CMD -M versatilepb -hda $ROOTFS -no-reboot $QEMU_UI_OPTIONS"
... snip ...

while at the very end, we read:

echo "Running $QEMU..."
# -no-reboot is a mandatory option - see bug #100
echo $QEMUBIN -kernel $KERNEL $QEMUOPTIONS $SERIALOPTS -no-reboot $SCRIPT_QEMU_OPT $SCRIPT_QEMU_EXTRA_OPT --append '"'$KERNCMDLINE $SCRIPT_KERNEL_OPT'"'
LD_PRELOAD="$GL_LD_PRELOAD" $QEMUBIN -kernel $KERNEL $QEMUOPTIONS $SERIALOPTS -no-reboot $SCRIPT_QEMU_OPT $SCRIPT_QEMU_EXTRA_OPT
--append "$KERNCMDLINE $SCRIPT_KERNEL_OPT"

obviously, not affecting actual operation, but is this something
"bug #100" will change some day (whatever that is)? just curious.
