 == cp15-rework ==
  * have had no review feedback on this patchset yet, and we're now
    into QEMU 1.1 hardfreeze. I'm hoping to get review during the
    month we're in freeze and then commit early June when 1.2 opens.
    However since that coincides with me being on holiday I've set the
    Estimate date to allow for that plus a week or so of buffer.
    Actual further work required is probably 1 week max, most of this
    is waiting-for-other-people or being-away.
 == kvm-boot-wrapper ==
  * pushed dtb support changes to git repo
 == other ==
  * basic QEMU side support for the VGIC kernel implementation
    Marc Z has been working on. I have something that seems to
    work but it's still a bit prototype and missing features.
  * investigated why my guest kernel was causing kvm to exit:
    turns out that we haven't implemented the kernel support for
    gracefully not using KVM if not booted in hyp mode, so trying
    to boot a KVM-aware kernel as a KVM guest doesn't work yet.
  * sent off the final few patches which I want in QEMU 1.1 before
    hardfreeze at the start of next week
  * tested a beagle board linaro snapshot image (it panics on
    bootup, LP:989737)
  * trying to clarify the KVM todo list...
