Ok, great!. I managed to boot the z2 machine with PCMCIA support
and it gets around the issue with my patch, correctly detecting the
CF card.

I'm not entirely sure what instructions the CPU supports, but Linux
treats it as ARMv4T as well, and qemu supports some of the 925t
specific instructions as "ti925t" in target/arm/cpu_tcg.c, it just seems
it's missing some others.
