The arm and arm64 architectures can also be run with kvmtool, and work is
under way to have it supported by the run_tests.sh test runner. Not
suprisingly, kvmtool's syntax for running a virtual machine is different to
qemu's.
Add a new unittest parameter, 'qemu_params', with the goal to add a similar
parameter for kvmtool, when that's supported.
'extra_params' has been kept in the scripts as an alias for 'qemu_params'
to preserve compatibility with custom test definition, but it is expected
that going forward new tests will use 'qemu_params'.
