Lots of work to be done. Is there any news on getting QEMU to parse a device tree to figure out what hardware to emulate? (I.E. using the device tree code to let qemu provide configurable board emulations instead of hardwiring them in C code?) Also, what would be involved in getting x86 to (at least have the option to) use the device tree stuff? Rob -- Latency is more important than throughput. It's that simple. - Linus Torvalds
