Annotation of qemu/target-alpha/STATUS, revision 1.1.1.2

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.
1.1.1.2 ! root        8: op_helper.c     : helpers that can be called only from TCG
        !             9: helper.h        : TCG helpers prototypes
1.1       root       10: translate.c     : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator
                     11: 
                     12: Code translator status:
                     13: The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the
1.1.1.2 ! root       14: limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not tested.
1.1       root       15: The 4 MMU modes are implemented.
                     16: 
                     17: Linux user mode emulation status:
                     18: a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a
                     19: NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly.
                     20: It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but
                     21: this is to be prooved...
                     22: 
                     23: Full system emulation status:
                     24: * Alpha PALCode emulation is in a very early stage and is not sufficient
                     25:   to run any real OS. The alpha-softmmu target is not enabled for now.
                     26: * no hardware platform description is implemented
                     27: * there might be problems in the Alpha PALCode dedicated instructions
                     28:   that would prevent to use a native PALCode image.
