[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/4] ARM: Document AArch64 version of qemu-arm

[Tuomas Tynkkynen]

It's mostly obvious, except that QEMU is annoying and requires an
explicit '-cpu cortex-a57' (or some other 64-bit core) to actually run
in 64-bit mode.

 QEMU for ARM supports a special 'virt' machine designed for emulation and
 virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it.
+Both 32-bit ARM and AArch64 are supported.

 Running U-Boot

 The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is:
 
+- For ARM:
     qemu-system-arm -machine virt,highmem=off -bios u-boot.bin
 
+- For AArch64:

 Additional peripherals that have been tested to work in both U-Boot and Linux
 can be enabled with the following command line parameters:
