So it this the architecture of qemu, emulator version?
QEMU is a process that gives to o.s.guest a virtual hw
layer.
Every guest will be run by a QEMU instance.

See picture schema I prepaired: http://yfrog.com/7gqemulayersj

So system calls go from a guest application to its
operating system that communicates with its virtual
hardware. QEMU receives a system call and software emulator
QEMU performs a system call in O.S. host.
It is right?
