Thanks for the hint.. but apparently it was not enough. Still no
display on qemu :-(.

Anyway, "make oldconfig" is expected to produce working kernel, which
is clearly not case here. Perhaps this should be added to fix that?

[Who can take the patch?]

PS: whoever named directory in kernel sources "displays-new" should...
think again.
