I think we should look at changing runqemu so that it can be extended to 
support additional machines in the layers that add support for the machines 
themselves. I'm not entirely sure how we would implement this, but it should 
be possible assuming runqemu can know the path to all layers that are enabled 
(just query bitbake for BBLAYERS?) and there was some standard mechanism 
within the layer to add the machine-specific parts for the runqemu script.

Since this is unlikely to happen immediately I've acked these patches going 
in, but I think we'll need to look at doing this some time soon.

Cheers,
Paul
