Unfortunately, although some are using 16550 style UARTs, each ARM SoC has
their
own flavor of UART and the differences are even greater at the ethernet,
lcd, sd/mmc level,
so you can't get a port to a SoC not supported by qemu to run on qemu
without changing
a lot of things.

Linux and freebsd are trying to solve that problem with device trees, but
Plan 9 doesn't have
that. plan9.ini and kernel command line is probably not enough to specify
all the hardware
differences.
