[ACTIVITY] week ending 16 Dec 2018

Progress:

[VIRT-246 # ARMv8.1-LOR Limited Ordering Regions ]

Merged to target-arm.next.

[VIRT-294 # ARMv8.3-PAuth, Pointer Authentication ]

Posted v2. Now booting Will's kernel, which properly detects and enables support. Once that gets to mainline I'll add the prctl to linux-user/.

[VIRT-339 # ARMv8.5-BTI, Branch Target Identification ]

Started.

[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]

Put the ool softmmu patch set on hold for now, as that is not clearly ready when development opens again. Rebased all of the other queued tcg patch sets around that. Generated pull request.
