No, there's nothing particularly you need to enable in QEMU.

There's nothing obviously wrong with this command line (well, the
difference between the -m option and the mem= command line is
weird but shouldn't hurt).

Suggestions for debugging:
 * look for anything interesting in the host kernel logs
 * check whether 'earlycon' is any better for early kernel
   output than 'earlyprintk'
 * make sure you're using a recent QEMU
 * make sure you're using a recent host kernel
 * make sure you're using a recent guest kernel
 * enable QEMU's gdbstub and connect a gdb to it to see what's
   happening (if you're comfortable with trying to debug low-level
   boot issues)
