For the purposes of the micro:bit emulation project we're not sure yet
how far the M3 model will take us. The M0 is a subset of the M3 and we
intend to use it during bring-up...and even afterwards if software runs
okay with it.
If you don't want to merge this into qemu.git/master we'll have to
maintain a "microbit" project branch on which Julia and Steffen (and
others) can work during the Google Summer of Code and Outreachy period.
My concern about keeping it out-of-tree is that we want Julia and
Steffen to participate in the upstream community and get their patches
merged. Anything out-of-tree could still be rejected at a later date
:(.
Can we mark the machine type "experimental" and merge it in
qemu.git/master with the understanding that it may be removed if there
is no active development?
