As a simple user can run a VM and a full system inside, I'd like to be able to start a container/chroot without having to configure something at the host level. For instance, I'd like to provide to "someone" (with no admin rights) a tar file with inside an OS environment for a given target and the interpreter, and allow him to run the binaries inside just by running a simple command (like qemu-system-XXX -hda my.img) It's also interesting for a test purpose: I can test concurrently different interpreters for the same target without modifying the target root filesystem (with the 'F' flag but on a per directory basis) or the host configuration. Another case is we can't configure qemu-mips/qemu-mipsel (old kernel API) and qemu-mipsn32/qemu-mipsne32el (new kernel API) interpreters on the same system because they share the same ELF signature (to be honest qemu should have only one binary for the old and the new interface and dynamically change it according to the ELF binary that is loaded, as it is done for ARM). But if no one thinks it's useful, I don't want to push this more than that... Thanks, Laurent
