The plan is to support other architectures. Although your patch makes me
think, see below:

I'd say here that the selection of qemu-system-x86_64 or
qemu-system-ppc64 should be made depending on the host's arch. So if
it's x86_64, append qemu-system-x86_64, if ppc64, append
qemu-system-ppc64. So would you implement a system to append
qemu-system-[arch] depending on the host's arch? Thanks!
