Using ARM Cortex M softcore processor in Kintex-7 fpga board - feasibility & toolset

I need to use ARM Cortex M0 softcore processor along with my RTL in Kintex-7 fpga board.

1) I tried using DesignStart provided by arm but the embedded development kit - Keil ARM MDK does not support kintex-7 board.

2) Using ARM Cortex M0 softcore directly in vivado doesn't seem to me as easy as to use microblaze .

Can anyone help me with the issue or provide me with other solution, pointing me in correct direction.

I don't get it. Why should Keil support board?
It doesn't care what core you have. It is just a compilier.
