The arm64 'max' CPU type enables all features, so it makes sense to use
it for testing to ensure we're testing the latest models. The 'max' GIC
is used to pick the latest GIC model by default which is better than
defaulting to gicv2 since it tests a later model and, when more
than 8 CPUs are configured, it'll actually work. We don't need to
convert 'max' to 'host' with KVM/HVF since 'max' is an alias for
'host' when those accelerators are enabled.

v2:
 - Forgot to test with efi on v1 and testing now found an issue.
   Add a patch to allow '-cpu max', which has LPA2, to work with efi.
