The KVMIntegration page looks ok, but the Quickstart page could be
even shorter and do a few changes:

1) the section about installing semihosting bootwrapper is unneeded -
the kvm-boot-wrapper comes with hwpack already, so when you create the
fast model image, there will be a img.axf in the directory, wich is
the kvm-bootwrapper. Then instead of:

/path/to/RTSM_A15x124_VE/bin/RTSM_VE_Cortex-A15x1 \
  /usr/share/kvm-boot-wrapper/linux-system-semi.axf \ ...

/path/to/RTSM_A15x124_VE/bin/RTSM_VE_Cortex-A15x1 \
  img.axf \

2) apt-get install python-software-properties openssh-server

If these are important, I can include in the images by default. I know
apt-get install in the fast model is rather slow.

3) add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/staging-overlay

This is unnecessary, staging-overlay is already in the sources.list.d
in the images. just aot-get update

4) BUG: faults as there's no AXF file

This is fixed in the pending merge request:

https://code.launchpad.net/~riku-voipio/linaro-image-tools/linaro-image-tools/+merge/106591

5) Run linaro-media-create --image-file=guest.img --image-size=300M

perhaps you could suggest making a bigger guest.img (500M) and then
convert it to a sparse qcow2 file:

qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 guest.img guest.qcow2

My howto can be deprecated as soon as there is a more official guide.
