Plan for possible implementation of a system level A15 model
We need to decide whether it's worth implementing a system level model of the Cortex-A15 (ie, virtualisation and LPAE).
The deliverable here should be a writeup giving a definite estimate, a decision of whether this is worth doing, and a list of any necessary prerequisite QEMU fixes (eg trustzone). (We did a back-of-

Headline: Cortex-A15 QEMU user mode, KVM, and system mode emulation has been investigated and planned for discussion on the roadmap and at Connect
Acceptance: Wiki page created, issues and plans discussed, roadmap cards created

Full A15 system needs TSC agreement and further splitting.
The Full A15 system idea has been turned into a roadmap card and forwarded to the TSC.
