Hi. This patch breaks "make check", because it adds the raspi3
to the arm-softmmu (32-bit guest CPUs only) build, where the
cortex-a53 CPU doesn't exist:

e104462:xenial:qemu$ ./build/x86/arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M raspi3
**
ERROR:/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/qom/object.c:372:object_initialize_with_type:
assertion failed: (type != NULL)
Aborted (core dumped)

The usual way we avoid this is that 64-bit only boards are
in their own source file, which is only compiled if the right
CONFIG_FOO is set by default-configs/aarch64-softmmu.mak.
In this case splitting the 64-bit board into its own source
file would be weird and awkward, so the simple thing is to
guard the raspi3 bits with #ifdef TARGET_AARCH64.

(You might think we could define a CONFIG_RASPI3 in
aarch64-softmmu.mak and #ifdef on it, but for some reason
we don't expose those CONFIG_* to C code, possibly just because
we've never needed to in the past...)

Since this was the only code change needed, I'm just going to make
it and apply the patchset to target-arm.next, rather than ask
you to do a respin. (There was also a stray space-at-end-of-line
in patch 2 which checkpatch grumbles about; I'll fix that up too.)

thanks
