Acked-by: Peter Maydell <peter.mayd...@linaro.org> (by which I mean that I can't see anything obviously wrong and am happy for this mostly-ARM-related feature to go in, but am not qualified to review or test it; I think we've agreed that this patchset will all go in via Alex Williamson's tree.) thanks -- PMM
