+KVM/MIPS Trap & Emulate Release Notes
+=====================================
+
+(1) KVM/MIPS should support MIPS32R2 and beyond. It has been tested on the following platforms:
+ Malta Board with FPGA based 34K
+ Sigma Designs TangoX board with a 24K based 8654 SoC.
+ Malta Board with 74K @ 1GHz
+
+(2) Both Guest kernel and Guest Userspace execute in UM.
+ Guest User address space: 0x00000000 -> 0x40000000
+ Guest Kernel Unmapped: 0x40000000 -> 0x60000000
+ Guest Kernel Mapped: 0x60000000 -> 0x80000000
+
+ Guest Usermode virtual memory is limited to 1GB.
+
+(2) 16K Page Sizes: Both Host Kernel and Guest Kernel should have the same page size, currently at least 16K.
+ Note that due to cache aliasing issues, 4K page sizes are NOT supported.
+
+(3) No HugeTLB Support
+ Both the host kernel and Guest kernel should have the page size set to 16K.
+ This will be implemented in a future release.
+
+(4) KVM/MIPS does not have support for SMP Guests
+ Linux-3.7-rc2 based SMP guest hangs due to the following code sequence in the generated TLB handlers:
+ LL/TLBP/SC. Since the TLBP instruction causes a trap the reservation gets cleared
+ when we ERET back to the guest. This causes the guest to hang in an infinite loop.
+ This will be fixed in a future release.
+
+(5) Use Host FPU
+ Currently KVM/MIPS emulates a 24K CPU without a FPU.
+ This will be fixed in a future release
