Bug Description

Not sure if this is related to bug 1452016, or just a HW issue:

With the uvt-kvm create command on this Artful system, it returns:
uvt-kvm: error: libvirt: unsupported configuration: ACPI requires UEFI on this architecture

With the same command running on a Xenail system + Artful kernel, it returns:
qemu-system-aarch64: Cirrus VGA not available

Issue can be found on ThunderX as well, there was a similar bug for it (bug 1751718), but it's for Bionic (Bionic works fine)

summary: - Unable to create KVM with uvtool on Moonshot arm64 system
+ Unable to create KVM with uvtool on arm64 system

After changing the guest image to match the host (e.g. bionic on bionic), this seems to be working now.

Tested with B / D, need to keep an eye on this for other releases.

Marking this as invalid, referenced bugs are all closed and pretty sure this is not a problem on arm64 any longer.
