Yes, after merging that branch on top of linux-next I can boot into Linux.
If I add my "riscv: Drop setup_initrd" patch as well, I can boot using
initrd, otherwise I have to use virtio-blk-device.

That doesn't work for me, possibly because I don't specify a bbl
image with -kernel but vmlinux (using -bios for the bbl image).
I use branch qemu-for-upstream of https://github.com/riscv/riscv-qemu.git.
