Thanks. Apart from the last 2 patches which depend on the gicv3-virt
changes, I think this is all OK to go in now.

Since the gicv3-virt code still needs a respin (I haven't looked at
the failure to boot smp secondaries into EL2 yet), I have taken the
first 3 patches from gicv3-virt and put them into target-arm.next:
 hw/arm/virt: Merge VirtBoardInfo and VirtMachineState
 hw/arm/virt: Rename 'vbi' variables to 'vms'
 hw/arm/virt: Don't incorrectly claim architectural timer to be edge-triggered

and then rebased patches 1-14 from this series on top of that, and
applied all that to target-arm.next.

I'll put patches 15 and 16 into my gicv3-virt branch for when I
send out v2 of that.

thanks
