On the origial Malta boards the REVISION register is accessible at the 0x1fc00010 address. The contents of this register gives information about the revision of the Malta and Core Boards.
This register is used by the Linux kernel to identify the actual board it is running on. However the register is not emulated properly by Qemu, so put a hardcoded value into the flash to make Linux work.
