No option to choose 32-bit or 64-bit

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Binary package hint: testdrive

When booting with the kvm module loaded, testdrive assumes I will use qemu/kvm which is fine. If I unload the kvm/kvm_intel driver it switches to virtualbox. Again, this is fine, as it's a quick/dirty way for me to choose which vm system to use.

However, when choosing kvm it downloads the 64bit ISO, but when I unload kvm it then goes off to get the i386 image.

The easiest fix for this IMO would be for the user to choose which arch they wanted to use. Yes, I could manually select an ISO, but I'd rather just choose "Ubuntu Desktop 32-bit" or "Ubuntu Desktop 64-bit".

The ultimate reason for selection in my use case is because I have discovered a bug which may only manifest itself in one arch, so I'd like to be able to force the arch so I can confirm my testing.
