Unfortunately the QEMU gdb-remote is too primitive for lldb right now. So I’d
have to write some Python to pipe the connection through to dumb it down to
speak to QEMU :(.
All the lldb bits you would need are open source:

There is an lldb script checked in for the Emulator, but it does not have magic
to load symbols on real hardware.
