Hi Stefan, On arm and arm64 Xen still needs a qemu-system-i386 binary, just to provide the PV backends in userspace (disk, console, etc.). Unfortunately the output binary is still named "qemu-system-i386". I know that the name is misleading, but fixing it is not trivial: it requires disentangling code in QEMU in non trivial ways. Cheers, Stefano
