For ARM you absolutely should not be relying on the default
machine type (not least because it's an incredibly ancient
dev board which nobody uses any more). An ARM kernel is
generally fairly specific to the hardware platform being
emulated, so you should know which machine you're intending
to run on and specify it explicitly.
