I took few hours to translate and read all Taobao contracts before registering, then got blacklisted at my first login... Maybe others will get more luck. Having someone at Loongson helping with hardware is certainly easier for the community. > Lastly, I'm new to QEMU development and this is my first patch series > here; apologizes if I get anything wrong, and any help or suggestion is > certainly appreciated! For a first patch series, this is an impressive one... Regards, Phil.

Loongson company can donate 3a5000 computers or provide an IP access to 3a5000 hardware environment. Which way is better? Thanks. Song Gao

Wow, this is awesome! > Which way is better? Access to 3a5000 hardware environment is certainly better for us, as this remove the maintenance burden.

I was just about to ask if you could update for Paolo's meson.build changes. I've tagged the PR for the initial commit, and it'll go in next. r~
