Try the #qemu IRC channel on irc.oftc.net for specific questions.
One nice thing is that, despite the lack of documentation or comments,
the nature of QEMU is that there are often multiple examples (target
CPUs, emulated devices, etc) similar to what you're trying to implement.
Read them to see which core functions you'll need and how to call them.
