Anything particular missing in there?

For setting up a complete networked virtual riscv64 machine with
qemu-system instead of "just" a chroot with qemu-user there is
also a step-by-step description at

  https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V#Setting_up_a_riscv64_virtual_machine

It currently describes using a downstream 4.15 kernel with a
number of patches; I intend to update the kernel section within the
next days as upstream 4.19 has now been released and contains all
the necessary bits to run a riscv64 VM.
