QEMU speed improvements (ARM front-end)
Registered by
Peter Maydell
This blueprint is for improvements to QEMU's speed, focusing on the ARM front end. This includes inlining helper functions and identifying places where we're generating suboptimal TCG op sequences. Say three weeks work including initial identifying and setting up to be able to run some plausible benchmarks to see how much we're improving.
