We've been running and building qemu images on xs-dev; you might
consider doing root-stuff on a machine which is not dev. xs-dev
already has qemu, etc installed.
rsync does not require you to be root; fakeroot works quite well.
Mounting loopback filesystems, on the other hand... maybe FUSE can
help?
Don't worry too much about upgrading -- as long as your developer
tools are in /home/olpc they will be preserved across updates by the
upgrade magic which is going to land on Monday.
