That's where we currently copy it. However we are certainly capable of
being more flexible. For example as long at there is an entry visible to
the host file-system with the "F" flag we can actually create and run
docker images without copying QEMU inside the container.

However if we don't we certainly need to copy it to the same place in
the container than it is used outside the container.
