I have to question these choices, particularly generix86-64.

It is very important that the binary distribution makes a good first
impression at runtime, and a major part of that is that the common x86
hardware, including various peripherals, just works. Which is not the
case with genericx86-64: machines from meta-intel are a far better
choice.

And the same goes for booting in qemu: qemux86-64 is specifically
tweaked and optimized to work well in that environment, and again will
make a better impression.
