I was more after the differences between the two versions (yocto's and
qemu-fsl), and the reasons for having a different version of qemu in
meta-fsl-ppc. Basically to have an idea of whether I would miss functionality or
bug fixes by going with yocto's version of qemu instead. I imagine there are
patches in qemu-fsl that fix problems and maybe even improve performance on
powerpc hosts, but I presume these eventually fed back to upstream, or to yocto?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Josep
