> Hi everyone,
> I'm glad to submit my first patches to the Qemu-devel list.
>
> This patch set introduces a new SPARC V8 machine: Leon3. It's an open-sou=
rce
> VHDL System-On-Chip, well known in space industry (more information on
> http://www.gaisler.com).
>
> Leon3 is made of multiple components available in the GrLib VHDL library.
> Three devices are implemented: uart, timers and IRQ manager.
> You can find code for these peripherals in the grlib_* files.
>
> Modifications have been done to the SPARC cpu emulation code to handle
> Leon3's specific behavior:
> =C2=A0- IRQ management
> =C2=A0- Cache control
> =C2=A0- Asr17 (implementation-dependent Ancillary State Registers)
> =C2=A0- Shutdown
>
> Please feel free to comment.

One general comment: each device file should provide pointers to chipset do=
