I think that's exaggerating. qemu is handy, but in general testing is
not our strong suit. Also, qemu is only useful for testing coreboot
code that is not board-specific, and that code is often already
better understood/easier than board-specific code. To test
board-specific tricky stuff we need actual hardware or a simulator
like SimNow.

Interesting. It's possible that we've never been bit by this. I'm
also not a big qemu user so I hope others can comment too.
