I believe that this is fairly doable in the x86 space since the compiler 
setup and kernel configurations are almost identical, sound and nfs are 
missing from the generic configuration.

This will also help our CI on the autobuilder since it will drop 2 machines.

I will be sending an RFC to drop qemux86 and qemux86-64 in favor of the 
generic equivalents.

There is also a bug filed to make runqemu more extensible, should be 
coming in later in 1.6.

Sau!
