Configuring with --target-list=i386-softmmu should already give you a minimal set of devices, omitting those that are irrelevant for x86 but including a few optional ones. However I don't understand why devices emulated in C code would pose a porting problem for you? If the code is not using portable POSIX constructs or suitable #ifdefs then please post patches to fix that rather than working around those type of things. > Additionally if someone could point me to a to-do list of things to look > out for while porting Qemu on a new platform (new OS/hardware), I would > be extremely grateful. osdep.c and related files come to mind, configure obviously.
