It doesn't look like its useful out of the box for a QEMU image. Additionally you have to do something extra for the image to be usable for a beagle QEMU machine, related to x-load and u-boot, to get it to work.

vexpress itself works out of the box with the changes in the kernel,
I boot it frequently via NFS out of linux-yocto. It's the platform's
lack of bus/disk support that is the real issue.
