Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + code review: - a fix for an A9 global timer device bug - imx_fec ethernet bugfixes/cleanups - SD card emulation bugfixes/cleanups (including a CVE fix) - sm501 graphics card minor fixes - implementation of qemu_init_exec_dir() for OSX - patchset adding some missing devices to MPS2 boards - RTH's v7 MemTag emulation series (this was a big one, took most of a couple of days to work through) + sent docs patch deprecating our tilegx port + discussion about what exactly target code has to do for icount support; wrote some patches to remove some 'gen_io_end()' calls that turn out to be no-longer-necessary * VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions] + completed the neon decodetree conversion and sent the last batch of patches out for review; plan to start on fp16 support next

NB: have recorded my maintainership work under the old VIRT-65 for now; not yet clear when/which jira issue to use in the new UM-* hierarchy.
