First, let me answer some of my own qemu-static-arm questions.

F-17/F-22 mix thingy - -
qemu-static-arm is a, well, staticly link program - other than bitness and kernel calls - it will run anywhere -

Since Fedora seems to discourage staticly linked programs, just grap Debian's newest with wget and 'alien' the *.deb into files - you only need the qemu-static binary dropped somewhere in your usual path (/usr/local/bin ? /usr/bin ?).

binfmt_misc will probably be distro specific (but before the days of helper scripts, could be set-up by hand).

Here is the Debian write-up - Don't be surprised if you can't find a Fedora write-up, and just translate to your distro.

or
goggle for the Arch write-up (Arch has great docs).
