Alpha emulation structure:
 | 
			
		||||
cpu.h           : CPU definitions globally exported
 | 
			
		||||
exec.h          : CPU definitions used only for translated code execution
 | 
			
		||||
helper.c        : helpers that can be called either by the translated code
 | 
			
		||||
                  or the Qemu core, including the exception handler.
 | 
			
		||||
op.c            : Alpha dedicated micro-operations used by the code translator
 | 
			
		||||
op_helper.c     : helpers that can be called only from micro-operations
 | 
			
		||||
op_helper.h     : micro-operations helpers prototypes
 | 
			
		||||
op_helper_mem.h : micro-operations templates
 | 
			
		||||
                  for load and stores accesses helpers
 | 
			
		||||
op_mem.h        : micro-operations templates for load and stores accesses
 | 
			
		||||
op_template.h   : micro-operation templates for register moves
 | 
			
		||||
translate.c     : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Code translator status:
 | 
			
		||||
The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the
 | 
			
		||||
limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not implemented.
 | 
			
		||||
The 4 MMU modes are implemented.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Linux user mode emulation status:
 | 
			
		||||
a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a
 | 
			
		||||
NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly.
 | 
			
		||||
It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but
 | 
			
		||||
this is to be prooved...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Full system emulation status:
 | 
			
		||||
* Alpha PALCode emulation is in a very early stage and is not sufficient
 | 
			
		||||
  to run any real OS. The alpha-softmmu target is not enabled for now.
 | 
			
		||||
* no hardware platform description is implemented
 | 
			
		||||
* there might be problems in the Alpha PALCode dedicated instructions
 | 
			
		||||
  that would prevent to use a native PALCode image.
