One more idea that just popped up (I promise I won't spam the list too much with this kind of junk).
How much of a performance penalty/loss would be incurred by "pulling a Transmeta" -- by which I mean emulating x86 hardware with, in this case, ARM...? Say, convincing an A20 to emulate something like a P3 CPU?
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?
