Stephan, Thank you very much in advance for all the contributions. The rest of the MARSS group and myself will take the time to review and merge portions or the entirety of the commits in the near future.
No worries on the holdoff; I've been privately (and slowly) merging qemu's HEAD into MARSS and adding support for ARM myself.
