+QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
+good emulation speed, QEMU has two operating modes:
+
+ * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
+ (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherals.
+ It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
+ the PC or to debug system code.
+ * User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
+ Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used
+ to launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation
+ and cross-debugging.
