I gathered all the information from this thread here:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Testing/Acceptance#Machines
(with a link in https://wiki.qemu.org/Testing#System_emulation).

I also added other info I collected during 4.2 merge window.

Should we suggest a new policy that new machines must have a test?
I'll later purpose some idea to deal with machines only running non
opensource code.

I think most of the data from the acceptance tests we have could be
generated (json?) and we could concat with another manual maintained
json (or yaml to json?) to have this table easily updatable on the wiki.
Now I remember why I had forgotten about HTML, it is painful to edit.

Thanks all for sharing this information.

Regards,

Phil.
