Usually the qemu command line start directly with "qemu-system-<arch> ...".
But the command line for qemu_arm_vexpress_tz_defconfig start by doing
"cd output/images && ../host/bin/qemu-system-arm". This is necessary
since boot binaries, except BL1, are primarily loaded via semi-hosting
so all binaries has to reside in the same directory as QEMU is started
from [1].

The start-qemu.sh script fail to start qemu since it use exec on the
"cd" command. To work around this issue, use "exec sh -c":
exec sh -c "${QEMU_CMD_LINE} \${EXTRA_ARGS}"
