I don't really understand the purpose of this patch.  Surely there is
nothing to stop you from shipping an overlay qemux86.conf in some other
layer today, right?  What exactly is the advantage of this extra
indirection through an .inc file?

Also, as a side note, your patches 1/6, 2/6 and 6/6 all said
"qemuarm.conf" in the subject lines but only the last of them actually
contained changes to qemuarm.conf.

Also also, the patches in this form are quite hard to follow.  Did you
use "git format-patch -M" when creating them?
