For the new v7 machine that uses the virt machine upstream.

I see we aren't doing it for qemuarm64 either which is also supported in
U-Boot under qemu_arm64_defconfig, so yes, I'll do a follow-up to enable
in both of these.  And to qemumips* too.

So, humm.  As a serious question, how do we test wic images / ovmf
today?  On the U-Boot side of things, we test all of our qemu images
frequently with our functional tests.  What we don't have atm is "boot
linux to login prompt" or similar.
