It doesn't look like its useful out of the box for a QEMU image. Additionally you have to do something extra for the image to be usable for a beagle QEMU machine, related to x-load and u-boot, to get it to work.

x-load, u-boot are not needed when booting a qemu machine. You just need a kernel and rfs. So make sure that you use a kernel thats configured correctly to boot on say vexpress emulation on qemu and that should be it. Real thing is to figure out the kernel and any patches if needed.
