Yea. I've spoken with Linaro folks about coming up with a standard virt
model for reference - right now, I think it's going to be vexpress based
just due to lack of anyone driving something else. That's something, but
it's not quite what I wanted. Still, if we can find a way to have some
distinguishing term or package for the virtio/virt lightweight target
that isn't the system emulation bit...cool. Let's ponder this some more
and eventually we'll get there.

btw, I'll followup with you internally about access to A15 models. We
might be able to do something with that in due course.

Jon.
