Random thought: It may be possible to use PCI Passthrough, now or in the future -- to get an emulator such as QEMU to use a "proxied via network/software-stub" PCI (connected) chipset -- on a different computer... This could be helpful to debug BIOS'es on machines where the x86 emulator does not natively support the chipset that the BIOS expects to be present (e.g., Older BIOS'es -- BIOS'es are generally tightly coupled to specific hardware and chipsets -- run a BIOS on a chipset it isn't expecting and it generally won't work... at least, not without serious changes...)...
