Bug Description

While running flash-kernel inside qemu instance on armhf I get the following error:

$ flash-kernel
Unsupported platform.
$ echo $?
1

This happens because dtb is not provided (we don't need it) and /proc/cpuinfo contains the following information:
Hardware : Dummy Virtual Machine
But we don't have description for this 'Dummy Virtual Machine' inside all.db.

This leads to a crash of curtin (ubuntu fast path installer) because it checks the return code.

Proposed branch includes three no-op entries: for armhf, arm64 and ARMv8 fast model (all of them provide different entries in /proc/cpuinfo)
