Or don't control via a MACHINE feature at all (which would also solve
the package PACKAGE_ARCH issue) ?

Each CPU tuning file would then instead need to somehow express "this
tuning target creates binaries which can / can't be run with qemu",
but maybe that's an improvement too - isn't it better to define and
maintain that information centrally in files controlled by oe-core
rather than leave it up to BSPs to get right?
