OK, thank you for your suggestion, but for me, I guess, I still need let
tci work correctly:
- If I implement SW64 tcg backend, I guess, I cann't get help from qemu
upstream: I don't think SW64 is valuable enough for upstream (either
I am not sure that I can implment Alpha tcg backend in working time).
- tci is one tcg backend, at present, it can let i386 console programs
work under Alpha. So I can learn tcg backend by fixing its X issues
with the help from upstream (then implement SW64 tcg backend, next).
- Also tci is only slightly lower than tcg native backend, so if we are
lucky, its performance may be enough too! (I hope so).
Thanks.
