[PATCH 00/20] KVM for MIPS32 Processors
The following patchset implements KVM support for MIPS32R2 processors, using Trap Emulate, with basic runtime binary translation to improve performance. The goal has been to keep the Guest kernel changes to a minimum. The patch is against Linux 3.7-rc2. There is a companion patchset for QEMU that adds KVM support for the MIPS target. KVM/MIPS should support MIPS32-R2 processors and beyond. It has been tested on the following platforms: - Malta Board with FPGA based 34K (Little Endian). - Sigma Designs TangoX board with a 24K based 8654 SoC (Little Endian). - Malta Board with 74K @ 1GHz (Little Endian). - OVPSim MIPS simulator from Imperas emulating a Malta board with 24Kc and 1074Kc cores (Little Endian).
