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
