I'd like to adapt the existing linux-yocto standard/base branch, and build up 
on existing qemuarma9 support. I've included detailed patch fragments below, so 
that you can replicate the current state of my work at your end.

I've performed the following steps till date, but unfortunately get a qemu ram 
/ rom out of memory address error after doing all this. Must be because of an 
incorrectly mapped KMACHINE. The vexpress device doesn't support PCI, IDE or 
SCSI, only microsd card or ram devices, so the boot method should use an initrd 
file, for the root filesystem, as described here.

https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterMaydell/QemuVersatileExpress

Step 01.00: Clone linux-yocto-3.8 locally, create local meta branch, create 
local standard/qemuarma9 branch, tracking the master branch.

Make the following modification to the qemuarma9-standard.scc file.

Step 02.00: Create a new qemuarma9.conf machine definition.

There is a dts file in arch/arm/boot/dts called vexpress-v2p-ca9.dts. 

Q01: I guess the KMACHINE_qemuarma9 should be set to "vex press" ? instead of 
qemuarma9 below?

#@DESCRIPTION: Machine configuration for QEMU ARM Cortex A9.

# Specify the default tune.
