Yeah, the spike machine on RISC-V is unusable in basically the same
ways that the integratorcp machine is on Arm. Let's just change the
default to virt on all of those then :)
Thanks for the confirmation. I should have time to work on this over the next
days. I haven't looked in detail yet, but I get the feeling there is more to it
than changing a few variables :-). Beyond code, do you have a mental checklist
of the items that will need adjusted? E.g. docs, examples, tests, etc?
