Subject: Re: [PATCH V13 2/9] meson.build: Re-enable KVM support for MIPS
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:56:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <62b12fe2-01db-76c0-b2fd-f730b4157285@amsat.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAAhV-H5wPZQ+TGdZL=mPV4YQcjHarJFoEH-nobr10PdesR-ySg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Huacai,

We are going to tag QEMU v6.0-rc0 today.

I only have access to a 64-bit MIPS in little-endian to
test KVM.

Can you test the other configurations please?
- 32-bit BE
- 32-bit LE
- 64-bit BE

Thanks!

Phil.
