But I think that vexpress-a9 is often used as the default machine for qemu. That would be vexpress_ca9x4_defconfig. It's also what nixos uses.

The default machine for qemu-system-mips is: malta MIPS Malta Core LV (default) I don't know if uboot can boot this? Maybe someone interested in guix system vm --system=mipsel-linux can comment? > Not sure what the status of qemu is in that regard. Can it do UEFI? With tianocore it can, but don't think I remember ever getting it to work (on fedora a long time ago), so we can ignore my comment in regard to x86_64/i686 architectures, since grub already works well anyway.
