I'll have to talk to qemu-linaro folks about that.  I don't mind carrying
patchsets (that are headed upstream) to enable some chipsets if that's
what's needed to consolidate the source trees.  The bigger question
relates to main vs universe.  For instance qemu-system is built against
vde2, and qemu-kvm-spice against spice, both of which are in universe.
I understand the distinction may change or disappear soon, so this may
not be an issue.

I intend to schedule a session on this at UDS.
