This should be fine, as long as we are only supporting one machine that does
a single job. But my warning still stands that eventually you'll end
with a driver
that behaves differently between the h/w and emulator and we'll have to make
tradeoffs/compromises at that point. Targeted machines avoid that problem.
If we drop qemux86* as machine definitions in oe-core, I'll do the same in
the kernel tree, since I won't have an easy way to boot test them .. which is
fine, I just don't want them to bitrot.
