[Bug 573224] [NEW] add ARMEL support

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-vm-builder

I would like to use vm-builder to generate images for my ARM
development. For that I need to generate images for 'armel' architecture
which is part of ports.ubuntu.com.

In https://code.launchpad.net/~hrw/ubuntu/lucid/vm-builder/armel-support
tree I have first working version which generates armel root filesystem
on my x86-64 machine. Revisions 33-36 needs review, 37-38 are hacks to
make something working to share with other users.

I added 'qemu' hypervisor but I think that it can be merged into 'kvm'
one when I will add mapping of arch<>qemu/kvm binary.

Todo:

- add map of qemu-system-ARCH <> arch mapping (qemu-system-arm for armel, qemu-system-x86-64 for amd64 etc)
- fix kernel installation

I am using that code on fresh Lucid and code changes were done to HEAD
of bzr tree (rev 32).
