The most relevant links I could find about AIX hosts only mention=20
QEMU 0.9.1:

http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=3DMain.Qemu
http://www.vivier.eu/Qemu/

I'm not aware of any effort within IBM to support newer versions
of QEMU on an AIX host (Cc'ing Laurent in case he would be aware
of a non-IBM initiative).

I can maybe try to grab an AIX system and see what happens. I'm
okay to run the deprecation process if we choose to go that way.

Cheers.
