+The main android emulator uses the goldfish/ranchu board, but that arm target
+isn't in upstream, nor in the kernel we currently utilize. Instead, we use
+the Versatile Express board as our target in the kernel and qemu. Hopefully
+one day the goldfish/ranchu targets will get upstreamed.
+
+This has some ramifications for us. Namely, we do not have access to the qemu
+helpers like the goldfish pipe. That in turn means we access adb over a local
+TCP forwarded port.
