Description-en: extra block backend modules for qemu-system and qemu-utils
QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports
ARM, CRIS, i386, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, SH4,
SPARC and x86-64 emulation. 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.
