I can't say there is a real plan to do so at this point, but it shouldn't block 
you from writing a custom hook changing the xml we pass to libvirt to envoke 
qemu-kvm with arm instead of qemu-kvm.
you can (ab)use maybe some existing behaviors/properties, as well as add more 
of your own via custom properties (and for fancy - custom ui plugins to show 
those custom properties in the proper dialogs)

I'd say that's a good start to adding such support as an add-on, before 
considering it in the main code base.
that's actually how we sometime develop a new feature - first "try it for 
sanity" via a custom hook to understand its scope and the issues.
