Announcement: Genode OS Framework version 22.11 released

[Christian Helmuth]

Hello Genodians,

it's end of November and, hence, it's time for a fresh Genode release.
This time the release addresses a variety of topics from
least-privilege device drivers to virtualization improvements on ARM
and x86 with the following highlights.

The first notable improvement is the completion of our year-long
effort to a unified cross-platform device-driver infrastructure. The
uniform use of the generic platform-driver interface renders the
I/O-related foundation of the system much more dependable and clear.
Next, the current version adds support for Intel Gen12/Iris Xe to our
accelerated graphics stack and hugely improves robustness and
performance of the GPU multiplexer component. Further, the release
includes all ingredients for an integrated hardware-software co-design
workflow with Genode on Xilinx Zynq. This enables the development of
IP cores for the FPGA programmable logic and Genode components in
tandem and allows system designs that include hardware reconfiguration
at runtime.

The current release contains the following changes and new features:

- Hardware-software co-design with Genode on Xilinx Zynq
- Hardware-accelerated graphics with Intel GEN12+ GPUs
- Unified device-driver infrastructure across PC and ARM
- Low-level support for suspend/resume on PC hardware
- Device drivers
   - New PinePhone drivers for audio, camera, and power control
   - New PCI and network drivers for NXP i.MX
   - Intel display-driver support for 12th-Gen hardware
   - PC audio driver updated to OpenBSD 7.1
- Forthcoming Sculpt OS variant for the PinePhone
- Virtualization
   - Improved usability of the ARM VMM
   - Virtio device models for the Seoul VMM on PCs
- MSI support for the base-hw microkernel
