The way I test these Kconfig changes is configuring with
--without-default-devices, and build/test for each machine doing:

$ echo $MACHINE=y > default-configs/devices/$arch-softmmu.mak

(I overwrite because currently we don't support having a base
config different than the default-configs one).

For example for the SPARCbook machine:

$ echo CONFIG_SUN4M=y > default-configs/devices/sparc-softmmu.mak
$ ninja qemu-system-sparc
$ qemu-system-sparc -M SPARCbook -S

Or for the Jazz machine:

$ echo CONFIG_JAZZ=y > default-configs/devices/mips64el-softmmu.mak
$ echo CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING=y >> default-configs/devices/mips64el-softmmu.mak
$ ninja qemu-system-mips64el
$ ./qemu-system-mips64el -M pica61 -S

(The CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING is a particular kludge pending another series)

But unfortunately there are predating bugs breaking this testing.

I'll add this information in the respin's cover.

The sun4m maintainer is Artyom.
