qemu-nbd is used to 'mount' images to /dev/nbdX block devices, for
example, to manipulate a qcow2 image as a disk device

such as qcow2 to raw and vice versa.

At the moment, only build these softmmu emulators for x86_64 and sunxi
target. The decision was made for the following reasons
- It seems that interests of virtualization with qemu are mostly from
x86, and ARM recently.
- x86, sunxi boards/boxes capable of running qemu with accel=kvm are more
widely available
- Not all host, target combinations of qemu works, or even compiles
- Extra maintenance work and server resources
Test results are as the following
- Nested vmx works: lede-qemu-x86_64-kvm on lede-qemu-x86_64-kvm
- KVM on Cubieboard2 works
- tcg with malta works: lede-qemu-malta-tcg on lede-qemu-malta-tcg.
But it's too slow to be useful thus not included in this version
- mips64 host does not compile

This has two effects
- Saves time and computing resources. Non-relevant tools like
qemu-img, qemu-io will not be built
- Fixes packaging failure on octeon target caused by failure of
building internal pixman library
