SVE Support ([VIRT-198]) ========================

SoftFloat Bugs ([VIRT-69]) ==========================

- started coding up a [general test case for rounding/limits testing] - using the re-factored packing [pretty much works out the box] - still need to sort out ARM alternative FP16 format :todo - also need to check [float32_to_int32 NaN bug] - and fixes from Emilio's tree

[VIRT-69] https://projects.linaro.org/browse/VIRT-69

[general test case for rounding/limits testing] https://github.com/stsquad/testcases/tree/master/float

[pretty much works out the box] https://github.com/stsquad/qemu/tree/softfloat-float-to-float-v1

[float32_to_int32 NaN bug] https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1759264

Other Tasks ===========

- the QEMU 2.11.1 and OE-core hang-up Message-Id: alpine.LRH.2.00.1803101241080.24419@sjc-ads-6991.cisco.com bug has resulted in a patch from Victor - found weird QEMU CI OBS build issue - the OBS build should be failing the RISU tests but isn't, despite the commit id it reports

HKG18 Connect Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- good to meet the new team and catch-up generally - I enjoyed the range of topics in the TCGW hacking room - spent time conspiring with rth w.r.t. __flatten__ abuse and softmmu - discussed instrumentation/analysis options for QEMU with Maxim & rth - it also looks like initial HardFPU might be already there - good feedback from Fujitsu - seem pretty happy with the SVE work - missed the obvious in the [conference puzzle]
