[Qemu-devel] [PULL 04/21] arm: virt: Add an abstract ARM virt machine type

[Peter Maydell]

From: Wei Huang <address@hidden>

In preparation for future ARM virt machine types, this patch creates
an abstract type for all ARM machines. The current machine type in
QEMU (i.e. "virt") is renamed to "virt-2.6", whose naming scheme is
similar to other architectures. For the purpose of backward compatibility,
"virt" is converted to an alias, pointing to "virt-2.6". With this patch,
"qemu -M ?" lists the following virtual machine types along with others:

virt                 QEMU 2.6 ARM Virtual Machine (alias of virt-2.6)
virt-2.6             QEMU 2.6 ARM Virtual Machine
