[meta-intel] [PATCH v2 0/1] enable running under qemu

Although the machines definitions in meta-intel are meant to target
real hardware, begin able to start the resulting images under qemu is
nevertheless useful for testing.

intel-core2-32 and intel-corei7-64 work (tested with an Ostro OS
derivative with OVMF as firmware), whereas intel-quark hangs while
showing the OVMF/TianoCore logo. The patch should also work with
the normal BIOS, I merely haven't tested that.

In all three cases there's a (harmless?) warning:
warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:EDX.vme [bit 1]

The only enabled change on the target are the virtio drivers. The
downside is that the images do not take the wired IP address from the
boot parameters.

Changes since V1:
 - introduced a much light qemu-intel.inc which only enables virtio
