I should also add that I will shortly send patches for the kvm tool
required to drive this VM as well as a small set of patches that create
a para-virtualized MIPS/Linux guest kernel.
The idea is that because there is no standard SMP linux system, we
create a standard para-virtualized system that uses a handful of
hypercalls, but mostly just uses virtio devices. It has no emulated
real hardware (no 8250 UART, no emulated legacy anything...)

These patches take a somewhat different approach to MIPS
virtualization via the MIPS-VZ extensions than the patches previously
sent by Sanjay Lal.
Several facts about the code:
o Existing exception handlers are modified to hook in to KVM instead
of intercepting all exceptions via the EBase register, and then
chaining to real exception handlers.
o Able to boot 64-bit SMP guests that use the FPU (I have booted 4-way
SMP 64-bit MIPS/Linux).
o Additional overhead on every exception even when *no* vCPU is running.
o Lower interrupt overhead, than the EBase interception method, when
vCPU *is* running.
o This code is somewhat smaller than the existing trap/emulate
implementation (about 2100 lines vs. about 5300 lines)
o Currently probably only usable on the OCTEON III CPU model, as some
MIPS-VZ implementation-defined behaviors were assumed to have the
OCTEON III behavior.
Note: I think Ralf already has the 17/31 (MIPS: Quit exposing Kconfig
symbols in uapi headers.) queued, but I also include it here.
