[VirtLayer] Midterm patches and blog update

[Gedare Bloom]

I think you can use the rtems-testing.git module with the pc386 script
to run the tmtests in non-interactive mode. Then you just need to run
all of them (easy to script), and it should dump the output to the
"log/" subdirectory. I think there are instructions on our wiki page
about Qemu... ask if you don't figure it out easily. :)
