Thanks. So who "owns" this ABI (ie has the authority to change
it and should be the end documenting it)? How many projects or
bits of software are implementing either end of it?

If we decide that QEMU owns the spec we can put the documentation
into docs/specs/.

Yeah, and that seems to be undocumented too :-(  I'm not a huge
fan of "this is just some random thing that's private to QEMU
and libgloss".
