New CPU/target support with Jailhouse0 .11 include the Marvell MACCHIATObin, Xilinx Ultra96, Microsys miriac SBC-LS1046A, and Texas Instruments AM654 IDK.

Jailhouse 0.11 also now supports per-CPU statistics, various PCI device support improvements, Spectre Variant Two mitigation for ARM/ARM64 when supported by the firmware, and various x86/x86_64 fixes and improvements.
