Currently only 32-bit U-Boot for QEMU x86 is documented. Mention the 64-bit support.

If your patch series creates a U-Boot usable with QEMU depends on the chosen CPU:
This one seems to work: qemu-system-x86_64 -bios u-boot.rom -nographic -cpu core2duo
This one fails (as expected): qemu-system-x86_64 -bios u-boot.rom --nographic -cpu pentium
I could not get the emulation running without -nographic. Do you know why?
The documentation above is insufficient. Please, provide a minimum QEMU command line which includes a CPU specification.
I would prefer if you could specify two lines per bitness - one with kvm and one without, e.g.
qemu-system-x86_64 -bios u-boot.rom -nographic -enable-kvm -cpu host qemu-system-x86_64 -bios u-boot.rom -nographic -cpu core2duo
qemu-system-i386 -bios u-boot.rom -nographic -enable-kvm -cpu host qemu-system-i386 -bios u-boot.rom -nographic -cpu core2duo
