"The truth is that this is the first post of the Valve Linux blog. This blog is where you can find the latest information from Valve about our Linux development efforts. Avoid the rumors and speculations that multiply on the Web. Instead, come to the source - a blog where people who are interested in Linux and open source game development can get the latest information on Valve's efforts in this arena. In this initial post, we'll introduce the team (and a bit of its history) and then give you a snapshot of what we're currently doing." Steam, Source, and Left 4 Dead 2 coming to Linux. We know why.

Emulating processors with Qemu is not a good solutions for games at all. It's far from being efficient as same architecture VM.
qemu is very very fast, I have yet to notice a difference but my machine is quite fast anyway.
If there are going to be desktop ARM machines in the future, they are going to be fast enough for these kind of emulation.

Emulating one architecture on the same arch is doable. Cross-architecture is doable as well, and should suffice for business-oriented applications. But for the purpose of running games?
I'd like to see you running any even remotely recent x86 game on an ARM system... *ANY* ARM system... through emulation :-)
