This is I think correct, or at least not worth trying to
change to make it talk to a chardev. The semihosting ABI
in this area is intended primarily for debugging and similar
purposes. I don't think this patch should adversely affect
semihosting users.

daemonize + semihosting is a bit of an odd combination, but in
theory I guess it might be ok if the guest restricts its use of
the semihosting ABI.
