[REQUEST] qemu-kvm-extras (qemu-kvm addition with more arch support!)

from what I've seen, this gives qemu back it's ability to emulate other archs besides x86 and x86_64... I'm looking to emulate ARM for a few purposes and sincerely wish to do this via QEMU if at all possible.  But I know switching from the -kvm version is a step back.  I ran into this 'extras' package from an Ubuntu forum post written back in Feb showing that -kvm can run ARM ( http://www.cnx-software.com/2011/02/10/ … ntu-10-10/ )... further research shows Ubuntu and Fedora both have this package (if absolutely required, I can link to the RPM or DEB files in question... but since they are not "source", per-say, I don't know if that is by forum rules or now).  I'm willing to work with someone if they can take the lead on making this package... I am still pretty new to PKGBUILDs... enough to say I'm not gonna jump into the deep end and start one of this nature from scratch.  Better to know your limits and push when it's right than to not know your limits and push them constantly...
