This is the master list of platform documentation: 
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms

It currently doesn't list Xilinx or Netduino, but that can always be changed.

This will be a good place to start an Xilinx page:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/Xilinx

Here for Netduino:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/Netduino

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
