Title:
  [FFe] kvm-ok Support for ARM Architecture is Missing

Status in CPU Checker:
  New
Status in “cpu-checker” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Currently there is no support for Arm support using kvm-ok. Currently
  when I run kvm-ok I get the following output:

  INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
  KVM acceleration can NOT be used

  [FFe]

  We have ARM KVM support in the kernel, and now expect real A-15 server
  hardware to ship during the 13.10 cycle. So I think this bug has
  changed from hypothetical to real now. The patch is relatively small.

  Testing: see MP for Brendan's results.

  I suggest that we thoroughly test for regressions on the Intel side of
  things before uploading. We aren't changing Intel behaviour at all
  here - just trivially adding new code paths for ARM. I don't see how
  we can cause a regression for ARM here, ARM KVM support is new so it
  didn't work previously anyway.
