If you are already emulating a different architecture ( s390x on top of amd64 ) then I would imagine that the specifics of the OS running inside the emulator would not really be an issue at all. The emulator is handling binary translation of the instruction sequence to an instruction sequence that can be run on the host hardware platform and the emulator handles all the host OS calls. I think I remember Neale booted up windows something or other under qemu on linux on s390 ... a while ago.
