Title:
  add '--targets' option to qemu-binfmt-conf.sh

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I'd like to ask for the addition of option '--targets' to scripts
  /qemu-binfmt-conf.sh, in order to allow registering the interpreters
  for the given list of architectures only, instead of using all of the
  ones defined in qemu_target_list. The following is a possible patch
  that implements it:
