Test the aarch64 GDB support
ARM have posted aarch64 support to upstream GDB. Investigate how we can run the testsuite under models so that we can triage any problems and test any fixes.
This probably involves running the GDB test suite with a gdbserver running under a minimal Linux setup on the fast models.
