[PATCH 00/40] testing and plugin updates for 9.0

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

This brings in the first batch of testing updates for the next
release. The main bulk of these is Daniel and Thomas' cleanups of the
qtest timeouts and allowing meson control them. There are a few minor
tweaks I've made to some avocado and gitlab tests.

The big update is support for reading register values in TCG plugins.
After feedback from Akihiko I've left all the smarts to the plugin and
made the interface a simple "all the registers" dump. There is a
follow on patch to make the register code a little more efficient by
checking disassembly. However we can leave the door open for future
API enhancements if the translator ever learns to reliably know when
registers might be touched.

The following still need review:

  contrib/plugins: optimise the register value tracking
  contrib/plugins: extend execlog to track register changes
  contrib/plugins: fix imatch
  plugins: add an API to read registers
  gdbstub: expose api to find registers
  gitlab: include microblazeel in testing
  tests/avocado: use snapshot=on in kvm_xen_guest

Akihiko Odaki (15):
  hw/riscv: Use misa_mxl instead of misa_mxl_max
  target/riscv: Remove misa_mxl validation
  target/riscv: Move misa_mxl_max to class

  target/arm: Use GDBFeature for dynamic XML
  target/ppc: Use GDBFeature for dynamic XML
  target/riscv: Use GDBFeature for dynamic XML
  gdbstub: Use GDBFeature for gdb_register_coprocessor
  gdbstub: Use GDBFeature for GDBRegisterState
  gdbstub: Change gdb_get_reg_cb and gdb_set_reg_cb
  gdbstub: Simplify XML lookup
  gdbstub: Infer number of core registers from XML
  hw/core/cpu: Remove gdb_get_dynamic_xml member
  gdbstub: Add members to identify registers to GDBFeature
  plugins: Use different helpers when reading registers
