+Help to use QEMU (upstream version) with Xen
+============================================
+
+Note
+----
+
+All these steps will become unnecessary after the patches to integrate
+SeaBIOS/QEMU build will be applied.
+
+
+How to build it
+---------------
+
+### SeaBIOS
+
+The new device-model needs a different BIOS, SeaBIOS. Clone the repository 
from:
+
+  - git://git.qemu.org/seabios.git
+  - http://git.qemu.org/git/seabios.git
+
+Put the `.config` file in the appendix at the root of seabios.git and build 
SeaBIOS.
+
+In xen-unstable source tree, add the file `.config` with
+`SEABIOS_DIR = /path/to/seabios.git`.
+To build hvmloader with SeaBIOS, you propably need to `make -C tools/firmware
+clean` first and then `make tools`, to use the new SEABIOS_DIR parameter.
+
+
+### QEMU
+
+Get QEMU upstream source from:
+
+  - git://xenbits.xensource.com/qemu-upstream-unstable.git
+  - http://xenbits.xensource.com/git-http/qemu-upstream-unstable.git
+
+To configure build QEMU upstream with Xen
+
+    ./configure --enable-xen --target-list=i386-softmmu 
--extra-cflags="-I$path_to_xen_source/tools/include 
-I$path_to_xen_source/tools/libxc -I$path_to_xen_source/tools/xenstore" 
--extra-ldflags="-L$path_to_xen_source/tools/libxc 
-L$path_to_xen_source/tools/xenstore"
+
+You can also use other several options such as `--disable-kvm`.
+
+
+How to use QEMU upstream
+------------------------
+
+Only xl support QEMU upstream.
+
+To actually use it, add or change this in your VM configuration file:
+
+    device_model_version = 'qemu-xen'
+    device_model_override = '/path/to/qemu/i386-softmmu/qemu'
+
+NB: On qemu-upstream repository, the default binary name has been renamed to
+`qemu-system-i386`.
+
+
