It is simply not possible to avoid being specific here. QEMU
insists that you say which machine model you want to run on,
and the Cortex-M3 CPU itself does not define all the properties
of a machine.

If your test code really restricts itself to just the functionality
in the core CPU then it should work fine on one of our
existing M3 models. I don't think it makes sense to try
to have a "generic M3" board in QEMU.
