Description

## Description
Currently, the default GitHub runners use the Ubuntu 24.04 package repositories.
When installing QEMU via `apt-get install qemu-system-arm`, we only get **QEMU 8.0**, which does **not** include support for the `-M raspi4b` machine type.

We need to:
1. Ensure a newer version of QEMU is installed on GitHub runners, preferably **QEMU 10.1.0**.
2. Create a GitHub Actions workflow that installs this version of QEMU (either from source, PPA, or prebuilt binaries).
3. Validate the installation by running:

```bash
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine help
