qemu.git/master can't run interesting programs yet.  Missing:

 * Steffen Görtz's patches (rng, timer, uicr, ficr)
 * Julia's serial qtest (this is a prerequisite for the next item)
 * My -kernel vs -device loader fix (currently qemu.git/master is broken
   and cannot load any kernel at all!)

But we're getting there step by step :).
