In the kernel, there is no qemuarma9 machine. The corresponding
kernel machine is vexpress .. I checked the kernel sources, .. 
correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the intent of the KMACHINE
variable was to map to the correct machine defined in the kernel.

If we plan on having multiple arm architecture support (A8, A8, A15) to
QEMU, perhaps its better to rename this branch to qemuarm.
