I am not sure if this approach will work as expected due to some other
parts of Yocto depending on QEMU in different ways. For example the
"qemu-usermode" distro flag and the corresponding linux-user execution
of tasks might break?

Hmmm... How else can it be done?

'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.

I think it should be according to PREFERRED_PROVIDER methodology and not build both. Currently Xilinx QEMU do support zynq, zynqmp and microblaze, user can change this PREFERRED_PROVIDER way to build upstream or Xilinx QEMU (just like kernel, u-boot etc)

We have tested on various packages including xen-image-minimal with Xilinx QEMU, are we missing something in testing? or you witnessing any breakage with Xilinx QEMU and other components?

Whats the strong reason for having both? I would prefer it that we built using PREFERRED_PROVIDER methodology and default to Xilinx QEMU in meta-xilinx.

Thanks
Manju
