Andreas Sandberg 9a13acaa36 config, arm: Add multi-core KVM support to bL config
Add support for KVM in the big.LITTLE(tm) example configuration. This
replaces the --atomic option with a --cpu-type option that can be used
to switch between atomic, kvm, and timing simulation.

When running in KVM mode, the simulation script automatically assigns
separate event queues (threads) to each of the simulated CPUs. All
simulated devices, including CPU child devices (e.g., interrupt
controllers and caches), are assigned to event queue 0.
