On master oe, build a qemuppc64 with systemd as default init, when we
use nfs bootup, the kernel might panic due to missing symbol in dynamic
libraries as below:

One or more of the libraries systemd depends on failed to load due to
unresolved symbols/functions.  This was intermittent - with a failure
rate estimated between 5% and 30%.

After checking the code, this issue happens on gcc 12, kirkstone is using
gcc 11 works well, with both using the exact same v5.15.84 kernel commit.

There is a kernel fix from upstream [1], they changed the rsize / wsize
to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, when we applied this patch, the qemuppc64's
default r/wsize went from 4096 to 524288.But the qemuppc64 doesn't have
its own linux-yocto kernel branch, so apply this change might cause
regression with other platforms which share branch with qemuppc64.

So, we added an extra option for nfs rootfs, and set the qemuppc64 default
r/w size to 524288 to line up with the kernel fix[1].

Yocto did a similar thing in the distant past[2] - prior to boot-arg
adjustments existing - by allowing a Kconfig to set the defaults on
nfsboot, in order to work around hardware limitations.

There are 3 patches for this fix:
the patch 1 added QB_NFSROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT in qemuboot.bbclass,it contains 
a default QB_NFSROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT value and some notes in comment.
the patch 2 contains processing this value in runqemu script
the patch 3 set the r/wsize value in qemuppc64 machine configuration
file.

Xiangyu Chen (3):
  qemuboot.bbclass: add QB_NFSROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT for nfs rootfs extra
    option
  runqemu: add process of option QB_NFSROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT
  qemuppc64: set the qemuppc64 nfs r/wsize mount options to 524288
