Thx for doing this, I was planning to do this myself.

But remember that doing this will disturb existing nsim setups
- Our internal linux/gnu regression jobs one of which tracks my for-curr and will
  fail immediately
- uClibc-ng maintainer who also seems to use nsim AFAIK for regression runs

So we need to notify parties involves (and it would be best that we align this to
a kernel release which anyways will be next one.

Also go thru the github wiki pages and wherever applicable please add the config
info for nsim (keep the old settings there for reference as well)

Thx,
