1.1       root        1: (to be completed)
                      2: 
                      3: Alpha emulation structure:
                      4: cpu.h           : CPU definitions globally exported
                      5: exec.h          : CPU definitions used only for translated code execution
                      6: helper.c        : helpers that can be called either by the translated code
                      7:                   or the Qemu core, including the exception handler.
                      8: op.c            : Alpha dedicated micro-operations used by the code translator
                      9: op_helper.c     : helpers that can be called only from micro-operations
                     10: op_helper.h     : micro-operations helpers prototypes
                     11: op_helper_mem.h : micro-operations templates
                     12:                   for load and stores accesses helpers
                     13: op_mem.h        : micro-operations templates for load and stores accesses
                     14: op_template.h   : micro-operation templates for register moves
                     15: translate.c     : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator
                     16: 
                     17: Code translator status:
                     18: The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the
                     19: limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not implemented.
                     20: The 4 MMU modes are implemented.
                     21: 
                     22: Linux user mode emulation status:
                     23: a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a
                     24: NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly.
                     25: It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but
                     26: this is to be prooved...
                     27: 
                     28: Full system emulation status:
                     29: * Alpha PALCode emulation is in a very early stage and is not sufficient
                     30:   to run any real OS. The alpha-softmmu target is not enabled for now.
                     31: * no hardware platform description is implemented
                     32: * there might be problems in the Alpha PALCode dedicated instructions
                     33:   that would prevent to use a native PALCode image.
