 == cp15-rework ==
  * some (slow) progress on this
  * made a list of the missing pieces in my current patchset and
    knocked off a few of the easier ones
  * fortunately this blueprint isn't really a critical blocker for
    KVM work any more
 == initial-a15-system-model ==
  * vexpress-a15 now submitted upstream (in review) and in qemu-linaro
  * ...so this blueprint is complete
  * NB: doesn't boot in KVM but this is a trivial kernel-side issue
 == other ==
  * this category seems to take most of my time :-(
  * patch review: still Calxeda, Samsung
  * patch review: softfloat type fixes
  * identified some bugs in softfloat and arm code that surface if a
    softfloat type is 64 bits (at the moment it is 32 bits in practice
    but it is being proposed to widen it)
  * wrote up the issues to be solved so somebody else can do qemu-linaro
    releases
  * got qemu-jeos building for ARM [an attempt at making qemu testing
    easier by having an automated "build toolchain/kernel/initrd" setup]
  * retested QEMU fused-multiply-accumulate against an A15 FPGA
