SVE Reviews ~~~~~~~~~~~

- started reviewing {RFC PATCH 00/16} KVM: arm64: Initial support for SVE guests Message-Id: 1529593060-542-1-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com

QEMU ARMv8.3 Support ([VIRT-241]) =================================

- added remaining v8.1 stories to JIRA and re-organised under - [ARMv8.1 Mandatory Features] and [ARMv8.1 optional features] - pondering how much effort to do VHE - it's mostly conditional re-direction of EL1/EL2 registers so host kernel can pretend it's in EL1 when really in EL2 - some EL2 registers present slightly different formats when VHE bit is set
