This patch enables users to speficy --os-type on the command
line. This option is used to take specific actions for an OS type,
such as changing the kernel command line. This patch is part of the
Android KitKat enablement.
This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports
2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for
AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some
platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files.
In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.
1) Modifies Benchmarks.py to add support for Android ICS and BBench on Android ICS.
2) An rcS script is added for BBench on ICS.
3) Separates benchmark entries and rcS scripts for GB/ICS
4) Removes the debugging output from the existing BBench run script. These
print statements were used for debugging and they seemed to confuse users
into believing they should see some terminal output.

The disk image to use was always being forced to a particular value. This
change changes what disk image is selected as the default based on the
architecture being built. In the future, a more sophisticated system might be
used that selected a path based on certain rules instead of relying on one off
file names.
