Mostly what we want here is that there's a section in the
MAINTAINERS file so the new source files for this board
get listed. It's more about ensuring the right people
get cc'd for reviewing future patches than anything else:
for Arm boards I do the "collect the patches up and send
pull requests" part. For this you can list yourself with
either an M: or R: tag, as you prefer.  Include the
"L: qemu-arm@nongnu.org" line also, and some S: tag.
