QEMU 7.X.X branch is reaching EOL as the upstream has released 8.X.X branch. So there is no point in keeping multiple versions from 7.X.X series. This is an interim commit to prepare to move emulators/qemu to emulators/qemu7 so that emulators/qemu can be upgraded to latest 8.X.X release.

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
|
|
good emulation speed.
|
|
QEMU has two operating modes:
|
|
|
|
* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
|
|
(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials.
|
|
It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
|
|
the PC or to debug system code.
|
|
* User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
|
|
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
|
|
launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and
|
|
cross-debugging.
|
|
|
|
As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.
