I wouldn't say there is no interest in supporting the virt platform in
Barebox. It's true that none of the current developers have a strong
interest in the virt platform.

If someone from the community shows an interest and implements all the
virtio infrastructure and related drivers, I see no reason why those
patches wouldn't be considered for mainline inclusion.

I guess that's an elaborate way to say: patches welcome!

I've just built barebox -next and using qemu 4.1.1 the documented
(Documentation/boards/arm-qemu-vexpress.rst) commandline
"qemu-system-arm -m 1024M -machine vexpress-a9 -cpu cortex-a9
-nographic -no-reboot -kernel images/barebox-vexpress-ca9.img" yields a
working Barebox for me.

Regards,
Lucas
