Hi,
The KVM support should theoretically increase the speed/performance of the
emulated system. I tried to compare ARM KVM (--arm-iset=aarch64) and ARM
(--arm-iset=arm). I used simple for loops (in millions) doing integer
instructions. But the result of both --arm-iset=aarch64 and arm were
similar with no significant performance gain. The instructions I used to
emulate the full system are,

build/ARM/gem5.fast configs/example/fs.py
--disk-image=/home/junaid/gem5/full_system_images/disks/aarch64-ubuntu-trusty-headless.img
--machine-type=VExpress_EMM64 --arm-iset=arm

AND

build/ARM/gem5.fast configs/example/fs.py
--disk-image=/home/junaid/gem5/full_system_images/disks/aarch64-ubuntu-trusty-headless.img
--machine-type=VExpress_EMM64 --arm-iset=aarch64

Is the ARM-KVM support still in process? Or did I miss something?
