+=== gem5 arm Linux kernel patches
+
+https://gem5.googlesource.com/arm/linux/ contains an ARM Linux kernel fork with a few gem5 specific Linux kernel patches on top of mainline created by ARM Holdings.
+
+Those patches look interesting, but it is obviously not possible to understand what those patches actually do from their commit message.
+
+So let's explain them one by one here as we understand them:
+
+* `drm: Add component-aware simple encoder` allows you to see images through VNC: <<graphic-mode-gem5>>
+* `gem5: Add support for gem5's extended GIC mode` adds support for more than 8 cores: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50248067/how-to-run-a-gem5-arm-aarch64-full-system-simulation-with-fs-py-with-more-than-8/50248068#5024806
