Nothing prevents anyone from building a multi-cluster A15 system: http://www.lsi.com/products/mobile-communication-processors/pages/axxia-communication-processor-axm5500.aspx If you want to limit QEMU to specific configurations, that's perfectly fine. The kernel doesn't need to, and kvmtool won't. M. -- Fast, cheap, reliable.
