Qemu virt machine support armv7 and armv8 cpu, maybe we can use the
name "mach-qemu" for the machine and "qemu-virt64" for the board.

With this approach we use a generic name for the machine (since qemu
virt machine support armv7/armv8, we do not need to distinguish
between arm/arm64),
and made the distinction arm/arm64 only in board name.

This also lets the possibility, for someone who wants to add support
for qemu virt arm32 board, to not create another machine folder.

What do you think about that ?
