OK. I will try to look at that after the next release. On my TODO list I 
have 3 (or 4) items left:

- Finish full soft MMU mode (almost there, it allows to launch unpatched 
guest OSes and it eases QEMU portability on non Linux host OSes).

- (maybe, because it is more complicated) add a physical TB cache, so 
that QEMU does not flush translated code when the guest OS switches tasks.

- add builtin user mode tests for ARM and SPARC targets (I need to 
compile tests/linuxtest.c for those archs).

- add test "reference" images for Linux, NetBSD and FreeDOS (if someone 
wants to help on that topic...).

Fabrice.
