At some point we might put in warnings (or errors?) for trying to run QEMU with one of these unsupported combos... (In fact QEMU doesn't have any board models for the 1176 CPU as far as I know; realview-eb would probably be closest but it's possible we don't get the 1176-specific detail correct. Or adding realview-pb-1176 support would probably not be too difficult. Patches welcome :-)) I should point out that running the ‘versatilepb’ board model with an ‘arm1176′ CPU is not really a supported combination — it doesn’t correspond to any real hardware and so the kernel may or may not handle it properly, and similarly it’s not an intended or tested config of QEMU.
