Thanks for sharing this information. When is QEMU support for ARM Cortex A15 (with LPAE) expected?

Depends what you mean. LPAE is on the list of bits we currently hope we won't have to implement for KVM's benefit, but which we might have to. (Basically if we start with a guest kernel not compiled for LPAE then there's no need.) So adding LPAE on top of the "A15-without-virtualization" QEMU system model isn't in this planned work. If we need it it'll probably be done some time in the first quarter of next year.

A full QEMU system emulation including the virtualization extensions (ie what you would need to run a hypervisor inside QEMU) is not currently planned.
