[Qemu-devel] [PATCH_v2 0/9] target-openrisc: Corrections and speed improvements

[Sebastian Macke <sebastian@macke.de>]

This series is the first part to make the OpenRISC target more
reliable and faster.
It corrects several severe problems which prevented the OpenRISC emulation
for being useful in the past.

The patchset was tested with
  - the tests/tcg/openrisc tests 
  - booting Linux 3.11
  - run configure + make + gcc of a simple terminal graphic demo called cmatrix
  - run benchmark tool nbench in qemu-user mode and in the softmmu mode

The speed improvement is less than 10% because the overhead is still to high
as the openrisc target does not support translation block chaining.
This will be included in one of the future patches.

Only the patch which removes the npc and ppc variables removes a little feature 
from the OpenRISC target but which does not break the specification and will lead to 
a significant speed improvement.
