This is v2 of the series that cleans up the configure flags and sets the
default CPU type to "max" on arm64. Since v1 [1] (sent by Alexandru) we
addressed the review comments and distinguished "--processor" from the new
"--qemu-cpu", to configure build and run flags respectively.

The default TCG CPU on arm64 was the ancient Cortex-A57. With this
change, we can test the latest features of arm64 QEMU, and for example
run Vladimir's MTE test [2].

Alexandru Elisei (3):
  configure: arm64: Don't display 'aarch64' as the default architecture
  configure: arm/arm64: Display the correct default processor
  arm64: Implement the ./configure --processor option

Jean-Philippe Brucker (2):
  configure: Add --qemu-cpu option
  arm64: Use -cpu max as the default for TCG
