Sorry, this doesn't work yet. I was misinterpreting my test results. For what
it's worth, my testing and development methodology is to run it after hacked
up versions of the semihosting bootwrapper on the simulator that corresponds
to rtsm_ve-aemv8a.dtb (AEM VE FVP these days?) and examine the instruction traces.
