Bug Description
The revision of the A15 on the Arndale boards cannot handle Thumb2 KVM guest kernels (Thumb2 guest userspace is fine). This is unfortunately a hardware issue which cannot be worked around.
* We need to be doing KVM testing on more than just Arndale (ie TC2 as well) to cover all the use cases
* We need to have some ARM-kernel test cases so we can do testing on Arndale (worth doing since it's probably going to be a popular board)
* We should make sure "thumb2 guest kernels on arndale won't work" is documented somewhere useful (in whatever the landing team's equivalent of releasenotes?) to avoid a flood of user confusion

We get a kernel panic while rebooting if THUMB2 support is enabled in kernel. Looking at the bug description, is this an issue with the A15 revision or something wrong with Arndale kernel?
