Ok, I've gotten around to testing with the "malta" machine type and I
get the following error:

$ qemu-system-mips64 -M malta -nographic -monitor file:/dev/null -fw_cfg
name=etc/sercon-port,string=0 -serial file:/dev/stdout -cdrom
/tmp/test-mips-arc-75f96ab1/./file_filter_test/tmp.THAl4u4RAX -boot d
qemu-system-mips64: Could not load MIPS bios 'mips_bios.bin', and no
-kernel argument was specified

I suspect the -kernel should be needed, but I imagine I do need a bios.
Do you know where I can get a mips bios file? I also get similar
errors for mips-qemu_mips, mipsel-arc, and mipsel-qemu_mips.
