Cover from Samuel Ortiz from (part 1) [1]:

  This patchset allows for building and running ARM targets with TCG
  disabled. [...]

  The rationale behind this work comes from the NEMU project where we're
  trying to only support x86 and ARM 64-bit architectures, without
  including the TCG code base. We can only do so if we can build and run
  ARM binaries with TCG disabled.

v4 almost 2 years later... [2]:
- Rebased on Meson
- Addressed Richard review comments
- Addressed Claudio review comments

v3 almost 18 months later [3]:
- Rebased
- Addressed Thomas review comments
- Added Travis-CI job to keep building --disable-tcg on ARM

v2 [4]:
- Addressed review comments from Richard and Thomas from v1 [1]

Regards,

Phil.

I don't recall exact reason but TCG variant is used by bios-tables-test
to test arm/virt so it will probably break that
(it has something to do with how KVM uses CPU/GIC, which was making
ACPI tables not stable (i.e. depend on host), so comparison with master
tables was failing)

This should be 'depends on TCG' because we can not
*select* TCG, either we enabled it or not.

The problem is the machines are already selected in
default-configs/arm-softmmu.mak, so we can not build
the current config without TCG.

Not a problem, we can restrict bios-tables-test to TCG.

I don't expect the KVM-only build being able to run many
of our current tests, as most of them expect TCG.

I'll have a look at restricting the TCG-dependent tests
after this series get accepted.

I can't say I understand it, but the general idea seems right to me.

Not sure, but it was the only way I thought the BSD build could fail;
unless the capstone submodule really was not present in Peter's checkout
and submodule update was disabled.

Is it really a problem? If the users disabled TCG and still have these 
machines in their arm-softmmu.mak, it's a configuration issue on their side, 
so it's ok if they get an error in that case.

I don't think the build actually failed, I think it was just the cmake warning
from the missing method: to which Peter objected.

FWIW with and without source_dir work for me when testing, and I'm about to
include it in the v3 pull for an abundance of caution.

Have you re-based recently because I was having a look but ran into
merge conflicts. I'd like to get the merged at some point because I ran
into similar issues with the Xen only build without TCG.
