[DistroKit] [PATCH 0/9] v7a: vexpress: Switch from vexpress-a9 to virt

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

The Vexpress support added to DistroKit was explicitly added for use
with QEMU. barebox has rudimentary support for the Vexpress, but it has
since been overshadowed by the more extensive support for the QEMU Virt
platform.

barebox commit 8a7a891c5d35 ("clk: vexpress: clk-sp810: sync with Linux"),
first included with v2026.01.0 fixed a possible crash for vexpress-a15
by synchronizing the Vexpress/Versatile clock driver against the
upstream version in Linux.

A side effect of this is that the clock on the vexpress-a9, which we are
using, is now twice as fast, so sleep 10 in barebox takes 5 seconds instead.

There is a Github issue[1] to address this regression, but until that's
resolved, we need to restore things to working order here.

Let's use the occasion for some cleanup and switch over fully to Virt.
This also has the  advantage that this is similar to how we would
likely implement the run command for v8 as well.
