Does do_test_aarch64_virt() add more machine parameters? Also, which cpu
type does it choose? The reason I ask is because aarch64 virt will fail to
run with KVM unless the appropriate gic version is specified (the
gic-version machine parameter). Also the cpu type must be 'host' or 'max'.
'max' is the better choice as it also works for tcg. gic-version also
takes 'max' allowing it to auto-select the appropriate version. So if it's
not already there somewhere, then please ensure aarch64 has these
additional parameters:

 machine:gic-version=max
 cpu:max

Thanks,
