Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ got the "use Sphinx for documentation" patchset to a point where I
think we could plausibly commit it to master; sent out for review
+ two arm pull requests
+ sent patches fixing decode errors for FCMLA
* VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board]
+ AN521 model is now in upstream QEMU
thanks
