I also find that instruction emulation for some (all?) ARMv6K and newer
instructions are missing. E.g. hint instructions like NOP and WFI. Shall
I produce a second patch to add these?

Sure.

Note that you should emulate all the hinted NOPs as actual NOPs,
since the event the hint waits for may happen in the meantime;
under some circumstances that would lead to stalls.

Good point :-) Conversely, things like Send Event shouldn't be actual
NOPs.

Also a good point!  For this one, I guess you'll need to take into
account what platform you're acutally running on, also.
