Completed Reviews [2/2] =======================

{RFC 00/48} Plugin support Message-Id: 20181025172057.20414-1-cota@braap.org

- CLOSING NOTE [2018-11-28 Wed 14:13] Hashed out a number of things. Emilio will look at a single-pass option and it makes things easier or not. It was also suggested we could move instruction fetch to helpers outside of the individual front-ends to keep the plugin call points in the core translator and avoid having to tweak each front-end for support. A number of pre-requisites were discussed including some de-macrofication work to make the code easier to follow and instrument.

{PATCH 0/4} xxhash patches for 4.0 Message-Id: 20181123230206.12629-1-cota@braap.org

- CLOSING NOTE [2018-11-28 Wed 15:09] Clean-up to xxhash to match original and handle expanded hashes
