Just adding the defconfig in the SRC_URI is not enough. The qemuarm
launches with the versatilepb machine emulation, not vexpress.

For me to get vexpress support, I've had to create a local copy of the 
linux-yocto repo, update the meta-branch and then do the adaptations.

So, it's not just a simple one line fix as simple as adding a defconfig
for linux-yocto. the runqemu scripts have to be modified, etc.

I've shared all that I've done, with you, but you've apparently done this
before, and I've just spend days to find out just that!! 

Thanks for the run around!!
