It reads as if we completed the support which we didn't. We are just progressing
towards that. Maybe something like "Continued Armv8-R MPU enablement".

s/Support/support/ to match above.

The first item maybe (with - nit - a full stop added). The second item I'm
having a hard time seeing how it could be relevant to anyone, until guests
can actually be created / started in at least a minimalist way.

I will add it.

It shows that we are progressing on that way to boot guest. Maybe the 
following rewording of this item would be better:
   Introduce domain build helpers for device tree-based domains, laying 
the groundwork for guest boot support.
