Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
Following legacy packing conventions, `isArm` was defined just for
32-bit ARM instruction set. This is confusing to non packagers though,
because Aarch64 is an ARM instruction set.
The official ARM overview for ARMv8[1] is surprisingly not confusing,
given the overall state of affairs for ARM naming conventions, and
offers us a solution. It divides the nomenclature into three levels:
```
ISA: ARMv8 {-A, -R, -M}
/ \
Mode: Aarch32 Aarch64
| / \
Encoding: A64 A32 T32
```
At the top is the overall v8 instruction set archicture. Second are the
two modes, defined by bitwidth but differing in other semantics too, and
buttom are the encodings, (hopefully?) isomorphic if they encode the
same mode.
The 32 bit encodings are mostly backwards compatible with previous
non-Thumb and Thumb encodings, and if so we can pun the mode names to
instead mean "sets of compatable or isomorphic encodings", and then
voilà we have nice names for 32-bit and 64-bit arm instruction sets
which do not use the word ARM so as to not confused either laymen or
experienced ARM packages.

This obsoletes two of the included patches, one of them RISC-V specific,
since they've been picked up by upstream.
This build has been confirmed as being able to build and run an (extremely
recent) RISC-V Fedora 28 Rawhide image, available from:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/disk-images/

* $out/bin/qemu-kvm should point to qemu-system-aarch64 on aarch64, libvirt expect it
* makeWrapper codes are separated as some architectures might require additional command flags (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/31606#issuecomment-349675127)
* x86_64-on-i686 is not a native emulation and not supported by KVM, so it is removed from the list
This reverts commit 3a4e2376e4.
The reverted commit caused the fix for CVE-2016-9602 not to be applied
for qemu_test because it conflicts with the force-uid0-on-9p.patch.
So with the rebase of the patch on top of the changes of the
CVE-2016-9602.patch, both patches no longer conflict with each other.
I've tested this with the "misc" NixOS test and it succeeds.
