[ACTIVITY] report week ending 2 Nov

[Peter Maydell]

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- code review
- target-arm pull requests
- lots of pull request processing (softfreeze was this week)
- investigated and sent patches to fix a bug where a PC related
pullrequest was failing tests on my merge test setup (turned
out to be a build system issue where we were doing things in
configure that meant make didn't notice it needed to rerun it)
- some simple patches for coverity issues

thanks
