Hi all, Most recent work is here http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-08/msg02759.html . Most the code is Qemu device boilerplate(so there are a ton of things to add but I wanted to have the existing work merged first). The IOMMU just offers basic translation. From Valentine's previous comments, I only have a few minor issues to fix in the code. I obviously do other things alongside :-D this project but given some time I could get the code merged and continue to add other features. > > For the Outreachy program, just like for GSoC, we need to find a good > topic that is sufficiently clear defined on program start and not worked > on in parallel during the runtime.
