Hi,

Xilinx QEMU has support for the virtualization extensions in the GICv2 but
we're seeing issues with running hypervisors in multi-core setups.
It seems like guest migration between cores is causing trouble but we
haven't pinpointed the exact cause.

I'd be interested in debugging the problem seen with Jailhouse.
Can the images and instructions on howto run be shared with me?

Thanks,
Edgar
