=== Highlights ===<br><br>* KVM/ARM VGIC state saving and restoring implementation.<br>  1) read the full software emulated gic code hw/arm_gic.c to understand<br>      the original gic_state using<br>  2) started to define the standard ABI of gic state for user space to use.<br>
      The work consists of two part: kernel vgic part and user level qemu part.<br>      I would firstly complete kernel vgic part.<br>      During the process, mainly two problems met:<br>      Firstly, unlike kvm_pic_state of x86, the gic_state, mainly used by fully<br>
      sw emulated gic in hw/arm_gic.c, is not used by kernel vgic code and most<br>      of its members are also not used by hw assisted hw/kvm/arm_gic.c code,<br>      i probably need define a new standard gic state structure interface in<br>
      kvm_irqchip for qemu to use, may be named kvm_gic_state.<br>      Secondly, currently i only know to the test method via savevm on a single<br>      virtual machine, this is the first target. In the future, we may support multi<br>
      targets.<br>  Will keep going as this and send patch first.<br><br>* Reviewed a few imx pinctrl patches<br>* Invovled with a few FSL internal meetings on the i.MX changes.<br>
