Adding qemu as a submodule of KVMFORNFV
This Patch includes the changes to add qemu as a submodule to kvmfornfv repo and make use of the updated latest qemu for the execution of all testcase Change-Id: I1280af507a857675c7f81d30c95255635667bdd7 Signed-off-by:RajithaY<rajithax.yerrumsetty@intel.com>

-Known Issues
-------------
-
- * Cache incoherency issue caused by do_bootelf_exec() at cmd_elf.c
-
- Cache will be disabled before entering the loaded ELF image without
- writing back and invalidating cache lines. This leads to cache
- incoherency in most cases, unless the code gets loaded after U-Boot
- re-initializes the cache. The more common uImage 'bootm' command does
- not suffer this problem.
-
- [workaround] To avoid this cache incoherency,
- 1) insert flush_cache(all) before calling dcache_disable(), or
- 2) fix dcache_disable() to do both flushing and disabling cache.
-
- * Note that Linux users need to kill dcache_disable() in do_bootelf_exec()
- or override do_bootelf_exec() not to disable I-/D-caches, because most
- Linux/MIPS ports don't re-enable caches after entering kernel_entry.
-
-TODOs
------
-
- * Probe CPU types, I-/D-cache and TLB size etc. automatically
-
- * Secondary cache support missing
-
- * Initialize TLB entries redardless of their use
-
- * R2000/R3000 class parts are not supported
-
- * Limited testing across different MIPS variants
-
- * Due to cache initialization issues, the DRAM on board must be
- initialized in board specific assembler language before the cache init
- code is run -- that is, initialize the DRAM in lowlevel_init().
-
- * centralize/share more CPU code of MIPS32, MIPS64 and XBurst
-
- * support Qemu Malta
