'Why not have both?' :)

To avoid any issues with replacing qemu-native, I looked at setting it
up as a separate recipe. "qemu-xilinx" recipe which populates the
binaries in a sub-dir of the sysroots usr/bin.

Here is a work in progress tree with the recipe:
https://github.com/nathanrossi/meta-xilinx/tree/nrossi/qemu-xilinx

Essentially the binary is located here:
tmp-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/qemu-xilinx/qemu-system-aarch64.
We can work in the ability to select the qemu to use into the runqemu
part, allowing to select depending on what you want to run on.

Sorry you are correct for microblaze, but "aarch64" does not include
the executable for "arm" which would likely cause issues. But this is
a mute point if going for the solution I proposed above.
