* SVE2 is now emulated, including bfloat16 support
* FEAT_I8MM, FEAT_TLBIOS, FEAT_TLBRANGE, FEAT_BF16, FEAT_AA32BF16, and
FEAT_MTE3 are now emulated.
* Improved hot-unplug failures on PowerPC pseries machine.
* Implemented some POWER10 instructions in TCG.
* Added shakti_c RISC-V machine.
* Improved documentation for RISC-V machines.
* CPU models for gen16 have been added for s390x.
* New CPU model versions added with XSAVES enabled:
