   3Alpha emulation structure:
   4cpu.h           : CPU definitions globally exported
   5exec.h          : CPU definitions used only for translated code execution
   6helper.c        : helpers that can be called either by the translated code
   7                  or the QEMU core, including the exception handler.
   8op_helper.c     : helpers that can be called only from TCG
   9helper.h        : TCG helpers prototypes
  10translate.c     : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator

  12Code translator status:
  13The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the
  14limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not tested.
  15The 4 MMU modes are implemented.

  17Linux user mode emulation status:
  18a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a
  19NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly.
  20It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but
  21this is to be proved...

  23Full 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.
