Unless the Xtensa architecture has a particular board which is and will *always* be a primary choice for anybody using it (as "pc" is for x86) I'd recommend against setting a default board for it, because once you set one you can never change it without breaking command-line compatibility for users. ARM has a default board set, which is unfortunate because it's hardware that nobody uses now, so the QEMU default setting mostly serves to trip up users who try to run a kernel for some other machine on it by mistake. -- PMM
