 Differences between QEMU and real hardware:
 
 - AN385/AN386 remapping of low 16K of memory to either ZBT SSRAM1 or to
   block RAM is unimplemented (QEMU always maps this to ZBT SSRAM1, as
   if zbt_boot_ctrl is always zero)
+- AN524 remapping of low memory to either BRAM or to QSPI flash is
+  unimplemented (QEMU always maps this to BRAM, ignoring the
+  SCC CFG_REG0 memory-remap bit)
 - QEMU provides a LAN9118 ethernet rather than LAN9220; the only guest
   visible difference is that the LAN9118 doesn't support checksum
   offloading
+- QEMU does not model the QSPI flash in MPS3 boards as real QSPI
+  flash, but only as simple ROM, so attempting to rewrite the flash
+  from the guest will fail
+- QEMU does not model the USB controller in MPS3 boards
