I thought this was unlikely, but a bit of searching reveals that there are people doing this, eg: http://gumstix.ecs.soton.ac.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Qemu http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Gumstix_emulation_for_QEMU http://www.bitmux.org/qemu.html Of course, because Gumstix is ARM-based you won't be able to use acceleration (KVM). Plain QEMU seems like it will work. Libvirt won't know about the non-standard QEMU parameters (like -pflash) so it's best to just use the qemu-system-arm command directly. For help you should go directly to the resources suggested above.
