Hi Xiantao,

This is the output from the host:

[root@mustafa ~]# cat /proc/pal/cpu0/version_info
PAL_vendor : 0xff (min=0xff)
PAL_A      : 01.08 (min\x01.03)
PAL_B      : 01.14 (min\x01.00)

There's a lot to do really, first priority is to get qemu and qemu-kvm
in sync. Then we need to look at making it more scalable for when
running on larger systems with many I/O devices presented to the guest.
I should have the hardware to work on that though, at some point :-)
