Install qemu and create agl-egvirt machine feature
qemu is the userspace emulator needed to run KVM virtual machines. This patch adds a bbappend for qemu in the meta-egvirt layer, and includes it in the packages to be installed in the AGL distro. To do this, the new agl-egvirt machine feature has been created and is used to enable virtualization specific extensions created by the EG-VIRT group for AGL. In order to reduce its impact on the AGL image, the qemu targets have been limited to aarch64 and x86_64 only. Changelog v2: - agl-egvirt added to MACHINE_FEATURES - use of class_target to not create conflict by the QEMU version used in the SDK and the one used by KVM - README file updated accordingly Bug-AGL: SPEC-718 Change-Id: I27288382443ba2bfe14d574ade2e691a63da145d Signed-off-by: Michele Paolino <m.paolino@virtualopensystems.com>
