Thanks Peter, and appreciate the patience and pointers.

I deleted the earlier forks and created a fresh one directly
from upstream QEMU. I cloned it locally and created a branch
with the accel patches, and:

git push -o ci.variable="QEMU_CI=2" origin master-smmuv3-accel-v8

I tried QEMU_CI=1 as well.

However, I’m still not seeing any CI jobs or pipelines show up.
I may be missing something obvious here and will have another
look over the weekend if possible.

Would appreciate it if anyone else familiar with the GitLab CI
setup could take a look, if possible, try to reproduce this, and
help get the IORT files in play here.

Thanks,
Shameer
