QEMU allows to run arm32 programs on x86_64 hardware with user-mode emulation tools (qemu-arm-static). Along with binfmt_misc setup it allows to run aarch32 jvm on x86_64 hardware transparently like a native binary (albeit at the much slower speed). That may be useful during cross-compilation for smoke testing aarch32 changes.

Currently jvm asserts on startup. Proposed change is to detect QEMU user-mode emulation and prevent (ignore) assertions in that case.
