Most of the SVE patches are in now. I’ve just got four remaining:

[PATCH v2 02/10] Add Aarch64 SVE Linux headers
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00220.html
- Simon wanted to check with FSF people if it’s ok to include Linux headers.

[PATCH v2 05/10] Ptrace support for Aarch64 SVE
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00262.html
- Okayed (with nit changes). Commit blocked on 02/10

[PATCH v2 09/10] Ptrace support for AArch64 SVE gdbsever
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00270.html
- I need to respond. However, this will still be blocked on 02/10

[PATCH] Support large registers in regcache transfer_regset
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00303.html
- New. Replacement for 10/10. Requires review.

Assuming 2/10 gets okayed, this should all get done this week.
