[David Gilbert]

== QEmu ==
  * Sent 64bit atomic helper fix upstream
  * Basic boot time and simple benchmarks v Panda board
  * Tested prebuilt images and Peter's latest post-merge QEmu tree
     - The full Ubuntu desktop on an emulated Overo is a bit slow -
it's rather short on RAM
     - The full Ubuntu desktop on an emulated VExpress isn't bad; it's
got the full 1G; (with particularly grim
       line of awk to mount vexpress images based on Peter's
suggestion of the use of 'file')

== String routines ==
  * Pushed memcpy and memset up to cortex-strings bzr
  * Working through memset issue with Michael
      - Made my code a little less sensitive to initial alignment

== Hard float ==
  * Testing libffi 3.0.11rc1 - still hasn't got variadic patch in, but
hopeing it will land later in the cycle.

== Other ==
  * Excavating inbox after week off.
  * Build LMbench and kicked run off on Panda. (Got stuck in some
heuristics under emulation)
