Please send your patch to the qemu-devel mailing list.

I think it's a good idea but we should homogenize "--debian" and 
"--systemd": remove the parameter from  "--systemd" to generate by 
default all the targets, and allow the user to provide a subset of the 
targets using the newly introduced "--target" parameter.

Thanks,
Laurent

Bug description:
  I'd like to ask for the addition of option '--targets' to scripts
  /qemu-binfmt-conf.sh, in order to allow registering the interpreters
  for the given list of architectures only, instead of using all of the
  ones defined in qemu_target_list. The following is a possible patch
