Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ Got a v6 series sent to the list of the conversion of QAPI
doc-comments into rST/Sphinx. This took most of the week,
following Markus' detailed review on the v5 (and involved
some wrestling with Meson). Optimistic that this can get into
master now...
thanks

thanks

[ Sorry it's a bit late. ]
[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
Send out tcg patch queue.
Prototype a disassembler using llvm. Not ideal.
If we proceed with this further, we should probably
schedule time for it, because the job is not small.
Updating the capstone submodule; a couple of rounds
converting that to meson.

== This Week ==
* GNU-659 (calculix)
- Comparing code-gen of hoisting region doesn't show many more extra stores
- Came up with two heuristics, which "fix" the issue, but aren't very general.
* LLVM-611
- D79785: Created fix for expensive checks issue, and posted on llvm-dev
- D87430: Posted patch for adding heuristic to LowerCall.
== Next Week ==
- Continue ongoing tasks
