You can get these from QEMU if you pass it "-d unimp", which logs
various kinds of things-not-yet-implemented, with a couple of caveats:
 * the warning is when we translate the code, not when we execute it
 * it won't warn for registers which we implement but not completely
   (eg only partial functionality or dummy reads-as-written)

In this case it printed
"write access to unsupported AArch64 system register op0:3 op1:3 crn:9
crm:14 op2:0"

The 'guest_errors' suboption to -d warns about things which appear
to be errors in the guest OS, for instance some kinds of UNPREDICTABLE,
and may also be of interest.

Neither guest_errors nor unimp are comprehensive (there are many
more situations where we don't warn than where we do) but they can
be helpful sometimes.
