Am I mis-understanding what you mean by 'finishes' here, as
I see many references to softmmu remaining
$ git grep softmmu | wc -l

In particular under configs/
I was also hoping it meant that we'd be changing configure
to allow
configure --target-list=x86_64-system
though the lazy side of me would like
configure --target-list=x86_64-vm
for less typing
Maybe we should also bikeshed about the naming first... "system" is a quite
overloaded word in this context already, and "vm" sounds rather like
hardware-accelerated stuff ... what about using something like "sysemu"? Or
"fullsys" for "full system emulation" (in contrast to "user space"-only
emulation)?
