You might want to read "Disco: Running Commodity Operating Systems on Scalable Multiprocessors" by the folks at Stanford who eventually went on to write VMware. They wrote a VMM for a MIPS ccNUMA. IIRC, they had to both do binary translation, as well as relink Irix to live at an address in the user KSEG, instead the kernel KSEG. - nolan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
