Presumably that name was chosen just to avoid a clash with the qemuarm
machine name used in oe-core?

That seems likely.

Here's an early commit lo from the repo made by Bruce that
shows the output of /proc/cpuinfo:

    wr-bsps: add qemuarma9

    This is the out-of-tree port of the CoreTile Express A9x4 platform,
    running under qemu.

Again, I'm not an arm man so maybe this is old hat to toolchain and
BSP people. I'm just trying to suggest a tested short-cut.


If/when we update the CPU used in the oe-core qemu ARM machine, I vote
we continue to just call it "qemuarm".

That would surprise me as a user of qemuarm so my vote is to change the
name unless there's precedent to support your vote.
