done, ssh -v -p922 lauri at talos1.libre-soc.org.  if you need sudo let me
know.

please do bear in mind it is a test machine, could be blown away at
any time.

mmm i prefer more options rather than less: there has always been
the plan to add as many different "runners" for co-simulation purposes
as can be found.  microwatt, power-gem5, even direct ssh into
POWER9 hardware...

I thought kvm can

ah fantastic, which is perfect and exactly what i would love to see
happen.

ah ha! perfect as a mini project (with its own repo). would you be
happy to push it to git.libre-soc.org?

yeyeh, that's how i did microwatt-v-libresoc when running the microwatt
unit tests under verilator; used verilog $display to dump reads, writes,
regfiles, PC, MSR and CR, for each, and did "diff -u" on the results.

i've got it semi-running, i can see it being useful so am going to proceed
in parallel with what you're doing.
