I tried to get this working a couple of months ago, there are patches  
related to it submitted and some of them have made it into the  
mainline kernel. Im not sure if all of them have at this point or not.  
(I didnt get it to work with the submitted patches so i was just going  
to wait.  :) ) I haven't tried recently. It is probably time to try  
again.

Libvirt handles arm natively.. if you go through the whole machine  
setup in libvirt, I think it is the last step, select qemu instead of  
kvm, then arm will show up as an option for archtype now.  :) However  
it doesn't work with the rootfs-12 because of the options to qemu,  
that showed up in the script.

There are directions on how to rebuild the kernel for qemu.. :)
They work.

If you want to try the alpha 13 release, you probably have to copy the  
/dev dir out of the old root-fs and move it to the new one.
