It's not supported for the malta/mips64r2 combination you are trying to use. It's clearly possible that it is supported for mips64r6, but it's a different instruction set, so you can't run a standard Debian distribution on it. > Also, as Lixing mentioned in our private exchange, there is SMP > support for loongson.

In that case it is indeed supported like on other mips64r5 CPUs. For that you need to use add the -enable-kvm option to the qemu command.
