>Could be. My first guess is something like 4 months work for this. Four months full-time? If so I would say it's not viable for a GSoC project (it's 3 months), I've done the 12-hours-a-day-crunch thing for a week or so in GSoC 2017 and it was _not_ fun. Also, I hope you meant four months for me, not for you - I'm completely new to the QEMU codebase. I expect it will take me weeks just to understand x86's 'translate.c' (who thought it'd be a good idea to put all this stuff in _one_ file?). Another question, are there existing discussions about this refactoring effort or specifically AVX? I asked a similar question on IRC a few days ago and got no answers.
