-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
