- New CPU architectural features emulated:
- FEAT_NMI
- FEAT_CSV2_3
- FEAT_ETS2

- The 'max' CPU and any new CPU types will default to a 1GHz generic timer frequency rather than the old 62.5MHz (this is architecturally required from ARMv8.6 onwards)
- The emulated GICv3 also now has NMI support
- Changes to existing board models:
- Add DM163 display to B-L475E-IOT01A board
