We'd prefer if the user always had to specify the machine and cpu
options in the command line instead of relying on defaults.

Since the KVM build already doesn't work with the current default of
cortex-a15, remove the default altogether for KVM builds.

IMHO not having a working default CPU model is a undesirable
state to be in and user hostile, especially so when it makes
aarch64 be a special case compared to other targets.

Can't we just make 'host' be the default model for KVM, if
the named CPU models don't work ?

With regards,
Daniel
