No, that's not supported. The only board we have that works in KVM is the 'virt' board. I guess in theory it could be bodged into working, but AArch64 KVM isn't really intended as "run an arbitrary guest kernel that uses an arbitrary machine and set of devices", it's more "run a guest kernel that knows it's running as a VM" (for instance there is no way to give the guest something that says it's a Cortex-A53 -- you always get the CPU type the host has). -- PMM
