I don't test any of the XIP configs, but if you guys have something that's sane
to run in QEMU I'm happy to do so.  Given that there's now some folks finding
boot bugs it's probably worth getting what does boot into a regression test so
it's less likely to break moving forwards.

These are on fixes, with the second one split up so it's got a better chance of
landing in the stable trees.

Thanks!
