* **Improvements**
+ * qemu: Change default machine type for aarch64 and riscv64
+
+ It is nearly impossible to create a working VM using the current default
+ machine types. Change the aarch64 default from ``integratorcp`` to ``virt``
+ and the riscv64 default from ``spike_v1.10`` to ``virt``.
I would suggest rewording this along the lines of
* qemu: Change default machine type for Arm and RISC-V
Arm and RISC-V architectures now use the ``virt`` machine type by
default. The previous defaults were nearly unusable and had to be
overridden in most cases.
