What about userspace applications that use dcbz?

That's generally the killer... but then, MOL was only ever implemented
on ppc32 so we never had the problem.

But to run Mac OS X we first have to fix quite a lot of qemu stuff
anyways ;-). It might also make sense to only run osx in PPC32 mode,
as the PPC64 one doesn't add that much value.

Yeah :-) We can pick stuff from MOL if we want to though, as it was all
GPL.

Thinking about it again, why did MOL never get upstream? :)

Which is all the same from my code's perspective. Host segments are
just mapped unconditionally while the real handling happens on a per-
page basis. So if the guest sets NX on a segment, it ends up as NX in
every host page we map.

Ok.

Cheers,
Ben.
