Description: QEMU full system emulation binaries (x86)
QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports
i386 and x86-64 emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves
reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.
.
This package provides the full system emulation binaries to emulate
the following x86 hardware: i386 x86_64 (amd64).
.
In system emulation mode QEMU emulates a full system, including a processor
and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and debugging of system
code. It can also be used to provide virtual hosting of several virtual
machines on a single server.
.
On x86 host hardware this package also enables KVM kernel virtual machine
usage on systems which supports it.
