Yeah, maybe. I'll be interested to see the v2 cover-letter with your requested description of what the series brings to the table. This isn't the kernel, where non-pagable code size is a concern, so I don't see how full configuration of machine emulations and devices is helpful. I'd be more inclined to go the other way, where all qemu-system-cpu images always build in all devices (compiled once of course). I guess I'll wait and see. r~
