Description:

linuxboot_dma.bin ROM should be part of qemu package instead of qemu-arch-extra like linuxboot.bin. In QEMU 2.7.0+, linuxboot_dma.bin is loaded in favor linuxboot.bin when needed.


Additional info:
* package version: qemu-2.7.0-2

Steps to reproduce:

qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux -display none

Unless you have qemu-extra-arch installed, you will get:

could not open option rom 'linuxboot_dma.bin': No such file or directory
^Cqemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 2
This task depends upon

linuxboot_dma.bin has become a default as of Qemu 2.7. http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=b2a575a1c652904600869e774e45bf4c9ed72c55

This is pretty clearly an Arch packaging bug. The linuxboot_dma.bin file is *not* an optional extra. It is required to make the qemu -kernel option work since qemu 2.7.
