Progress: (short week, 2 days) * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + email/code review/etc catchup following holiday + the usual run of admin work for the release process for rc2 + investigated a problem where in 'icount' mode we weren't firing timer interrupts in a timely manner; with assistance from Paolo, tracked down the cause and sent a patch (https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1754038) + investigated a problem with v7M emulation reported by the LITE team; this turned out to be a combination of a known limitation combined with a badly worded warning message; sent QEMU patch which rewords the message so it's clearer that it's telling you that you're running into the limitation. + tracked down why aarch64 guest binaries run in icount mode on a 32-bit host misbehave; I have a working but slightly ugly patch which I'll send out next week unless somebody has a neater approach

thanks -- PMM
