This week Linaro held a virtual mini-summit for KVM/QEMU with major stakeholders for the area participating in it. Main goal for the mini-summit was to synchronize on the current state of the Virtualization area, plans and work needed to be done.
As a result of this meeting, Linaro is publishing a report [1] and is staring to be active also in Virtualization area with the help of it's brand new Virtualization team.

Hi all,
A little feedback for the Linaro Mini Summit on virtio-mmio.
There are a couple of items that GreenSocs should probably do, as we've done much of the background work. Namely, right now, we are deep in the throws of upstreaming the prerequisites for virtio-mmio to Qemu, then we'll move onto virtio-mmio. That should be finished off (of course). The next step is to actually use the Virtio-mmio within a platform (we can't upstream our virtio-mmio unless we upstream something that uses it too), which also involved sorting out the command line options and the device tree aspects for the kernel. We already have some plans for this - so again, it makes sense for us to continue there.
Note that virtio-mmio should work for ARM v8 too, once QEMU KVM works (- this isn't mentioned on https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Virtualization/201302MiniSummit), however, it's possible that platform may need updating.
In addition, we would be extremely happy to get involved in the other Qemu related V8 work.
Cheers
Mark.
