So it appears that trying to remove --cpu option will not work. Qemu
still wants to compile to the arch of the machine you are compiling on
without it. Even with cross compiler specified. So qemu still thinks the
host CPU is going to be i386, even though I specified an x86-64 cross
compilers. So Qemu will intern use -m32 cflag as well as not make the
correct assumptions during build.
So same goes for power. This option is how we cross compile qemu today
on our x86 machines to the run on the our embedded power boards.
So I'll leave the patch alone for now until Avi weighs in on it. But
everything that is currently there keeps functionality that was already
there.
