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.
