This is version 4 of the patch series to 
add support for aarch64 VMs in the vm-build infrastructure.
 - Ubuntu 18.04 aarch64 VM
 - CentOS 8 aarch64 VM

V3: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-03/msg02805.html 

Changes in V4.
- Removed the target validation we had put into Makefile.include.
- Corrected a dependency on a later patch in gen_cloud_init_iso().
- Changed the consume console patch to make draining the console to a 
  buffer optional.  This fixes the acceptance test issue.

Hi Robert,

Sorry I didn't get to this in the run up to 4.0. I've tried applying the
series to the current master but I ran into conflicts pretty early on. I
think the first patch conflicts with f01454ad17 because I had already
cherry picked some of the cleanups to gen_cloud_init_iso and then had to
fix it up. Skipping it caused the next patch to fail to apply so I
decided to back away from misapplying the series.

Would you be able to re-spin on current master please?

Sure, I will respin.  There is a v5 out for this series from 4/30 with
some additional minor fixes, but I will update the series from the
current master with the change around removing BOOT_CONSOLE and
putting it under DEBUG=1.

Thanks & Regards,
