This sounds like HotSpot for qemu.  Within qemu, how much work would it
take to retranslate after profiling execution, like HotSpot server
does?  I've looked a bit, but I get lost  in all the macros.  Where
would someone start looking to understand the translation process?

Where would one look to start on SMP support both for the guest and the
host?
