Bonus extended holiday edition: This report includes a number of things that happened over the Christmas holidays as well as this week (which is a short one, only 3 days).

Progress: * merge-correctness-fixes: ** my git pull request for various ARM qemu patches was merged! ** a number of other patches were merged to qemu master: + implement correct NaN propagation rules + rename softfloat float*_is_nan() functions + fix UMAAL (Aurelien's patch, reviewed by me) + VQSHL (reg) patchset ** diagnosed the segfault in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/604872 and wrote a patchset which fixes it (and related problems): http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/77887/ (n/7) ** wrote and posted a patchset which implements save/restore for the versatile platform (so I didn't have to wait 10 minutes for the test case to reach the segfault) http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/76529/ ** finished and posted a patchset implementing flushing of denormals to zero on input: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/77798/ (n/3), now committed ** reviewed/tested Aurelien's SMMLA/SMMLS patch (now committed) ** wrote and posted patches which implement the FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/77725/) and the file_sync_range{,2} syscalls (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/77723/) -- these are used by apt, and so linaro-media-create was generating a lot of warnings from qemu about their lack of implementation ** posted patch to clean up NaN handling in linux-user NWFPE emulation (follow-on from earlier NaN cleanups): http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/77795/

* maintain-beagle-models: ** implemented minimal ARM cp14 debug registers and a random register in the TWL4030 emulation (both needed to get recent Linaro kernels to boot on the beagle model) Submitted merge request upstream: http://meego.gitorious.org/qemu-maemo/qemu/merge_requests/3
