This error message just means "the guest tried to execute from a bad
address which isn't RAM on this board". If it happens immediately
on startup it almost always means "you tried to boot a kernel for board
X on QEMU's board model Y". We don't model the cubietruck, and
attempting to boot a cubietruck-only kernel on one of the boards QEMU
does support is just going to fail like this. (The other common failure mode
is "no output at all", which is what happens when the guest kernel
crashes before it writes anything to the serial port).
