Depends on if it is to be used. AFAIK the main users of arm linux user
are compiler test cases for M-profile CPUs.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. QEMU tries to emulate real HW although I
appreciate that is a somewhat loose definition once you get to things
like -M virt and other such SW like abstractions. Is semihosting even
going to be a thing on real RiscV/Power silicon?
