That's certainly something we should be aiming for, in addition to
something we can use to smoke test u-boot/linux as part of the hack-
compile-test cycle. With a view of using qemu as part of CI I had a
pull-request open against openbmc/openbmc that patched the runqemu
scripts to integrate the palmetto-bmc machine, but Patrick had concerns
about my approach there so the pull-request has been closed for the
moment.

I plan on taking a quick look at integration again shortly as some
relevant patches turned up on the openembedded-core mailing list.
