QEMU boot of raw GPT partition

Hello!
I'm considering the hypothesis of booting a raw GPT partition on QEMU.

I was pondering basing my attempt on:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Simulate_virtual_disk_with_MBR_using_linear_RAID.

Basically, I would create a fake GPT partition table (actually, two, since
they are mirrored at the end of the disk), manually calculating the start
point of the partition I want to start.

I would like to avoid including on this disk the Linux partitions, hence
the need for such calculations.

Anyone here ever tried anything similar?
