Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + QEMU 4.1.0 rc3 sent out. As usual, we've found some last minute bugs and we'll need an rc4 next week... + patch review: - series from Philippe making some cleanups to use object_initialize_child() and friends - Alex's patch "generate a custom MIDR for -cpu max" - made a start on reviewing RTH's 32-bit arm decodetree conversion + bug fixing: - LP:1838277 : we were taking exceptions caused by BRK instructions at EL2 to EL1, rather than to EL2; sent a patch fixing this - LP:1838475 : FPU register stacking in M-profile CPUs without the Security Extensions was incorrectly failing an NSACR check and taking a bogus exception: sent a patch to fix + wrote a patchset that converts the sparc target away from the deprecated and broken do_unassigned_access hook to use the new-in-2017 do_transaction_failure hook instead; one step closer to being able to remove the old hook entirely... + did the same for the mips target
