This is a testcase issue, as I have been able to boot a qemu instance using the following command:

qemu-system-aarch64 -m 256 -display none -nographic -netdev type=tap,id=net0 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56 -cpu host -enable-kvm -machine virt -kernel /boot/vmlinuz -initrd /boot/initrd.img -drive file=xenial-server-cloudimg-arm64.img,if=none,id=disk.0 -device virtio-blk-device,drive=disk.0 -drive file=seed.iso,if=none,id=disk.1 -device virtio-blk-device,drive=disk.1 -append "console=ttyAMA0 earlyprintk=serial ro rootfstype=ext4 root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs rootdelay=10"

I removed the gic_version=3 option and generated a random mac address
