For system mode, we can rarely support the amount of RAM that
the guest requires. Emulation is restricted to round-robin
mode, which solves many of the atomicity issues, but not those
associated with virtio.  In any case, round-robin does nothing
to help the speed of emulation.

For user mode, most emulation does not succeed at all.  Most
of the time we cannot even load 64-bit non-PIE binaries due
to lack of a 64-bit address space.  Threads are run in
parallel, not round-robin, which means that atomicity
is not handled.

I think in itself is not enough, on aarch64.ci.org:

  ./../configure --disable-docs --disable-tools --cross-prefix=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

Should only build 32 bit binaries. Which it does:

  13:52:57 [alex@aarch64:~/l/q/b/arm32.crossbuild] review/deprecate-64-on-32-v2|… + ls qemu-*

However make check-tcg fails because:

So possible TCG_TESTS_TARGET needs to be merged with the meson code?
Also do we still use TARGET_DIRS?
