Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ another round of code review and target-arm queue wrangling
+ found and fixed an edge-case bug in setting Q flag in SMLAD insn
+ fixed a GICv3 emulation bug where we didn't ever raise
maintenance interrupts
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ went through Arm ARM and identified exactly what the "v8.1M changes
which aren't part of a named architectural feature" are (for
QEMU-409 subtask)
+ implemented some parts of NOCP handling that were left as TODO comments
for being v8.1M-specific
+ implemented conditional-select insns (CSEL, CSINC, CSINV, CSNEG)
+ implemented low-overhead-loops and branch-future (in the 'trivial'
don't-cache-anything way the architecture permits)

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ Got a v6 series sent to the list of the conversion of QAPI
doc-comments into rST/Sphinx. This took most of the week,
following Markus' detailed review on the v5 (and involved
some wrestling with Meson). Optimistic that this can get into
master now...
thanks

- but not vanilla 5.6.14 or above
- need to track down kernel differences
- did some poking into getting Xen up on Debian
- seems multiboot not the way, got a bit further but need a debug
