qemu aarch64 cannot boot linux kernel v4.6+

Hi,
I tested the latest qemu-system-aarch64 cannot boot linux mainline kernel since v4.6 from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git.

Environment info:
# host
 ubuntu 16.04
# qemu
 Master branch from git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git, and now the HEAD is c11d61271b9e6e7a1f0479ef1ca8fb55fa457a62.
# build command
 ./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu
 make
# qemu commmand
 qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -machine type=virt -smp 4 -m 1024 -nographic -s -kernel ~/workspace/linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image -device e1000,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22

Error info:
 No error prompted, actually no any log which means I couldn't see the usually kernel boot message.

Debug info:
 I did a git bisect on linux, and found with this kernel commit, qemu failed to boot. Parent of 406e308770a92bd33995b2e5b681e86358328bb0 can boot.

    arm64: add ARMv8.2 id_aa64mmfr2 boiler plate

    ARMv8.2 adds a new feature register id_aa64mmfr2. This patch adds the
    cpu feature boiler plate used by the actual features in later patches.

 The main change in the patch is to add reg_id_aa64mmfr2 in to arch/arm64/include/asm/cpu.h, so might it be any struct change not included in qemu?

Can you please help check how to fix it?

Thanks
