I think the current aarch64 support in qemu is for running on an aarch64 machine.

But there's patches posted for everything else: build qemu-system-aarch64,
aarch64 emulation, and aarch64 kvm. The qemu-system-aarch64 bit may land
before everything else actually, but it won't be much different from
qemu-system-arm.
