Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ got the "use Sphinx for documentation" patchset to a point where I
think we could plausibly commit it to master; sent out for review
+ two arm pull requests
+ sent patches fixing decode errors for FCMLA
* VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board]
+ AN521 model is now in upstream QEMU
thanks

[VIRT-294 # ARMv8.3-PAuth, Pointer Authentication ]
Finished up the linux-user emulation, and posted.
Reviewed a patch set from Huawei also touching PAuth.
[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
Reviewed riscv decodetree v4 patchset.
Partial review of new target/rx patchset. It is confusing enough
to make me want to tackle the variable-length decodetree problem.
Reviewed softtlb resize v7 patchset; ported that to the remaining
tcg backends.
Part way through reviewing Peter's MPS2 patch set.

Alex Bennée
Majority of the week spent preparing for Fosdem talk on LLD:
- Built Chrome for Arm and AArch64 to investigate link time
performance on non-X86 platforms
-- Both gold and bfd take a considerable amount of time to produce
stubs/veneers/errata fixes
-- AArch64 link time is comparable to X86
- LLD gets more usage out of multithreading than gold
- Studied Gold and BFD structure to compare to LLD
- About half of slides written.
Some minor involvement with some investigations for ClangBuiltLinux.
