I have a set of upcoming changes here:
  
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/dmukhin/xen/-/tree/vuart-framework?ref_type=heads

Specifically,
 
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/dmukhin/xen/-/commit/17f44d23c1904374963c4ec839bc8219041b5d26

enables the use of emulation_flags on Arm.

I can move this patch to the upcoming series, if needed, but looks like it is
OK to have it for Arm even now.
