SVE Support ([VIRT-198])
========================

- generated a [narrow test case for fdiv_64 rounding error]
- doesn't hit much code but I possibly misunderstanding [the code]
AFAICT inc = ((frac & roundeven_mask) != frac_lsbm1 ? frac_lsbm1 :
0); seems reasonable

QEMU plugin support ([VIRT-280])

- following discussion with team started adding plugin hooks to
[tracepoint clean-up]
- I think I need to resurrect and expand the cputlb de-macro stuff
to cleanly add memory tracing
