This is now fixed in sof-stable with merging of:

xtensa: adsp: xtensa-host.sh: start frozen if no kernel given
https://github.com/thesofproject/qemu/pull/16

Without the debug prints, the emulation of course also runs faster and 
with the new IPC/boot defaults, vanilla driver boots up fine in hybrid 
host+DSP QEMU now, including topology parsing. The driver patch is still 
in review, but should go in soon'ish as well wit this:

# Fix IPC and boot timeouts
