I think the main reason many people still use QEMU's versatilepb
model is that it has PCI. If you want people to move off that then
getting those "generic device-tree driven PCI" patches into the
kernel would probably be a good start :-)  At that point we can
reasonably easily add PCI support to the QEMU 'virt' board.
