qemu doesn't have support for mx5 or omap CPUs. I already spend many days to
boot a kernel with qemu without success. I'm only able to boot armel
kernels (ie: without hf) from different distro (Fedora, Ubuntu).

But maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Well, the efika is more fast than the 2 qemus for armel. I don't know if
HardFloat can explain that.
