I just grepped for Goldfish through the QEMU git tree, and it didn't come
up with anything. Per our discussion last year: as a general matter of
policy, until QEMU merges support for a simulated hardware device into
their master branch, we shouldn't speculatively enable support for it.
So, NAK from me on this one until that happens.

Thanks, I thought they were going in through a hw/rtc tree and forgot about
them. I've queued them up for QEMU via the RISC-V tree, there's still some
other patches I'd like to batch up but I'll send them up soon. I don't see any
reason why the Linux patches can't go in via an early-ish RC, so we shoul be
fine.
