ARM VM System Specification
===========================

This looks very sane to me, and aligns very well with non-virtualized images.

For what it's worth, even though it's not a patch:

Acked-by: Olof Johansson <redacted>

Thanks, appreciate it.

What's the plan on how to lock this in? Where's this document going to
live? In the kernel sources under Documentation/, or external?

There were talks during LCA14 about publishing it as a Linaro
white-paper, but I would like it to be hosted by the open-source
projects that relate to it, for example the Linux kernel under
Documentaiton/ to represent both the guest and KVM side, and the Xen
sources too.

However, that may be a pain to update so the preferred method could be
to host it in either its current form (clear-text) or publish some
versioned PDF somewhere and simply point to it from the compliant
software pieces.

Suggestions or input welcome.
