 Hi Jason,

while running my s390-ccw bios tests, I noticed that network booting
seems to be broken now. This used to work before:

s390x-softmmu/qemu-system-s390x -nographic -accel kvm \
 -bios pc-bios/s390-ccw/s390-ccw.img \
 -global s390-ipl.netboot_fw=pc-bios/s390-ccw/s390-netboot.img \
 -netdev user,id=n1,tftp=/boot,bootfile=vmlinuz-4.18.0 \
 -device virtio-net-ccw,netdev=n1,bootindex=1

Now it simply fails with "! No IPL device available !".

Could you have a look at it, please?

 Thanks,
  Thomas
