Thanks -- applied to target-arm.next. Some caveats:

(1) we can fix the nit RTH noted about FMULX later

(2) I notice that there's no patch here that adds the linux-user/elfload.c
code to set a hwcap for the guest program to indicate FP16 presence.
Presumably there is such a hwcap?

(3) Is this complete fp16 support or are there still more pieces to come?
I'm assuming it's all done...

(4) I've split the "add new ARM_V8_FP16 feature bit to the enum"
and "enable the feature on the 'any' CPU" parts of patch 2, so
we can do the latter at the end. If there is still missing parts
to fp16 then we can drop the enable-feature half of that
for the moment.

thanks
