Description: extra block backend modules for qemu-system and qemu-utils
QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports Alpha, ARM,
CRIS, i386, LoongArch, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, RISC-V,
S390x, SH4, SPARC, x86-64, Xtensa and other emulations. By using dynamic
translation it achieves reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host
CPUs.
.
This package provides extra block device backend modules for qemu-system
emulation and qemu-img from qemu-utils package, which are rarely used and
has extra dependencies.
