This patch results in an incorrect extra line appearing in
the "-M help output":
vexpress             ARM Versatile Express
and if you try to use it we dump core:

e104462:trusty:qemu$ ./build/x86/arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M vexpress
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

We need to either figure out a way for indicating that
a subclass of MACHINE is actually an abstract subclass,
or just have the a15 and a9 directly inherit from MACHINE.
