(CC'ing everyone from MAINTAINERS because I'm touching configure) Vladimir sent a test for MTE [1], which didn't work on the default -cpu model, cortex-a57, because that CPU didn't implement MTE. There were two options to get it working: 1. Add -cpu max to the extra_params unittest parameter. 2. Make the default value for the configure --processor option 'max'. We decided that the second option was preferable, so here it is. The first patch might look unrelated, but when I was writing the function to select the default processor based on the architecture I noticed that for arm64, $arch is first equal to aarch64, then it gets changed to arm64. My first instinct was to have it be arm64 from the start, but then I realized that, despite the help text, --arch=aarch64 has been supported ever since arm64 was added to kvm-unit-tests. So I decided that it might more prudent to go with it and document it.
