Yeah reading the script it did seem odd that there doesn't appear to be
a way to add qemu machine support.

Will do.

So I was just following the convention here - but I'm taking your
comment was tied to the "it should be easier" issue above? I'll have to
see what my priorities are wrt reorganising the upstream scripts.

I'm not enough of a bitbake master to know how easily that can be
achieved, but it sounds nice in theory. The script as it stands just
tests against the relevant 'qemu*' names and goes from there - the code
I've added just follows that same pattern. Eg, from the script:

    ...
    if [ "$MACHINE" = "qemuarm" -o "$MACHINE" = "qemuarmv6" -o "$MACHINE" = "qemuarmv7" ]; then
        QEMU=qemu-system-arm
        ...
    fi
    ...
    if [ "$MACHINE" = "qemumips" -o "$MACHINE" = "qemumipsel" -o "$MACHINE" = "qemumips64" ]; then
        case "$MACHINE" in
        ...
    fi
    ...
