Romain Naour 7dcb9e98b5 board/qemu: remove the Qemu version from readme.txt
The Qemu version present in readme.txt files was needed when
the Buildroot's Qemu defconfig was tested manually using the
qemu-system-<arch> binary already present on the host.

This information is now incorrect since we are using host-qemu
package, currently at 4.2.0 version, to do a runtime test since
0c79350638.

For m68k-q800, we can use the upstream qemu since 4.2.0 release
[1].

So, remove this line from the readme.txt.

Run the emulation with:

  qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -smp 1 -m 256 -kernel output/images/zImage -dtb output/images/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb -drive file=output/images/rootfs.ext2,if=sd,format=raw -append "console=ttyAMA0,115200 rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0" -serial stdio -net nic,model=lan9118 -net user # qemu_arm_vexpress_defconfig

The login prompt will appear in the terminal that started Qemu. The
graphical window is the framebuffer.

If you want to emulate more cores change "-smp 1" to "-smp 2" for
dual-core or even "smp -4" for a quad-core configuration.
