Bruce Ashfield 463a49da05 linux-yocto: bsp/beaglebone: support qemu -machine virt
While we don't normally do a dual h/w and virt BSP (since they
tend to have conflicting requirements over time). A minimal overhead
option to do this was submitted to linux-yocto. Since it has no
impact on the h/w reference, has SDK testing value and can serve
as a template on how to do this for other arm boards, it is worth
making the configuration available.

The original commit log follows:

[

   If the kernel supports Qemu's virt machine, runqemu works almost for free.
   The device tree for machine virt is included in Qemu, which simplifies
   everything quite a bit.
   This change adds ARCH_VIRT=y and some drivers to the beaglebone kernel
   configuration which allows to:

     export MACHINE="beaglebone-yocto"
     bitbake core-image-minimale
     runqemu

   This also works out of an eSDK. Whithout this feature usually two
   different SDKs need to be compiled and maintained. One SDK is used for development
   in Qemu, another one is used to develop for the real target hardware.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
