[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Acceptance tests: add Linux initrd checking test

[Wainer dos Santos Moschetta]

QEMU used to exits with a not accurate error message when
an initrd >= 2GB was passed. That was fixed on patch:

        commit f3839fda5771596152b75dd1e1a6d050e6e6e380
        Author: Li Zhijian <address@hidden>
        Date:   Thu Sep 13 18:07:13 2018 +0800

        change get_image_size return type to int64_t

This change adds a regression test for that fix. It starts
QEMU with a 2GB dummy initrd, and check it evaluates the file
size correctly and prints accurate message.
