While reviewing the two versions of arm-qemu.exp in an effort to work 
out a common baseline and sort out what matches other files in the 
DejaGnu tree and what might be new, I ran across baseboards/qemu.exp.

The qemu.exp baseboard file seems to be a generic QEMU driver, with 
support for several architectures, including ARM.  I suggest that 
improving it is probably a better choice than adding another baseboard file.

What are its current shortcomings?  What would the proposed arm-qemu.exp 
baseboards fix relative to the generic qemu.exp baseboard we already have?

Should qemu.exp be split for a separate config/qemu.exp or adopt 
config/sim.exp?
