[ACTIVITY] report week 26

Progress: * misc: ** went through "aarch64 preparation" patchset (originally Alex's, then modified by John), fixed a lot of issues/nits, and sent out an updated version; this is now I think upstreamable-quality except that it doesn't provide anything useful on its own. ** looked at the VirtualOpenSystems patchset for v8 KVM support in QEMU; needs to be reconciled with John's work in the same area. ** Mans' LDA/STL patches now queued in target-arm.next to go upstream ** preparation for Connect Plans: * mach-virt
