One thing you forgot to mention is why the heck someone would want to
emulate x86? Where someone needs x86, they just use it, in all other
areas, everyone is galloping away from x86 and uses raw performance of
platform, without need to "emulate" anything. Anyway, QEMU emulates
anything on anything, so what?
