Description

At this time, qemu/kvm VM are not using qemu backend like in aarch64/x86_64/ppc64le but instead are running on s390x using bootloader_zkvm.

This is mainly because there is no VNC access because there is no "GPU" available for s390x in qemu (and on a real hardware too!).

But a virtio-gpu has been added in recent qemu/kernel [1], so this could the first stack of a way to use qemu backend.

A Proof-Of-Concept can be done with a recent qemu/kernel, but maybe a openSUSE TumbleWeed is needed for this.
But TW is not available anymore since about 2 years because of a lack of maintainer...

Yes! But time is the main issue, as usual :)

This might be an interesting stunt, but as long as customers run our products on zKVM systems (or whatever the current brand name is), this is what we will test.
