It is difficult, if not impossible, to create usable ARM and RISC-V VMs
using the current default machine types of 'integratorcp' and 'spike_v1.10'.
Change the default to the more suitable 'virt' type. See the following
thread for more details

V1:

Changes in V2:
Change the default for more ARM and RISC-V architectures
Reword NEWS entry

Jim Fehlig (3):
  qemu: Change default machine type for ARM
  qemu: Change default machine type for RISC-V
  NEWS: Mention change of default machine type for ARM and RISC-V
