Applied to master with the following changes:

    [Thomas:
     - order architecture dependencies in Config.in alphabetically.
     - rewrap Config.in help text, lines were too long
     - add an empty line between the package description and the upstream
       project URL in the Config.in help text
     - don't make KVM_UNIT_TESTS_ARCH default to $(ARCH). This was not
       correct for i386 for example. Instead, just handle the few
       architectures that the package supports.
     - remove useless double quotes in variable definitions.
     - remove --prefix="$(TARGET_DIR)" from CONF_OPTS. It was installing
       everything in /share/ and not /usr/share/, and setting the prefix to
       TARGET_DIR at configure time is not good. Instead, pass DESTDIR at
       installation time.]
