No, this approach is not feasible because it would be require to
describe the entire computer in SystemC: it's extremly complex to do and
the simulation will be very slow.
From what I understand Màrius tries to only simulate one component
(like a PCI card). As suggested Muli, a plugin to something like quemu
sounds like a good idea?
