Bug#258900: RFA: qemu -- Fast x86 Processor Emulator

[Paul Russell <prussell@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the qemu package.  Upstream author has frequent
releases, but still beta or alpha quality; bugs require a fair bit of
attention.

The package description is:
 QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator: currently the package supports
 x86 emulation.  By using dynamic translation it achieves reasonable
 speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.  QEMU has two
 operating modes:
 .
  * User mode emulation: QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for
    one CPU on another CPU.
  * Full system emulation: QEMU emulates a full system, including a
    processor and various peripherials. It enables easier testing and
    debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual
    hosting of several virtual PC on a single server.
 .
 As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and
 easy to use.
