-Alpha emulation structure:
-cpu.h           : CPU definitions globally exported
-exec.h          : CPU definitions used only for translated code execution
-helper.c        : helpers that can be called either by the translated code
-                  or the QEMU core, including the exception handler.
-op_helper.c     : helpers that can be called only from TCG
-helper.h        : TCG helpers prototypes
-translate.c     : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator
-
-Code translator status:
-The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the
-limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not tested.
-The 4 MMU modes are implemented.
-
-Linux user mode emulation status:
-a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a
-NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly.
-It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but
-this is to be proved...
-
-Full system emulation status:
-* Alpha PALCode emulation is in a very early stage and is not sufficient
-  to run any real OS. The alpha-softmmu target is not enabled for now.
-* no hardware platform description is implemented
-* there might be problems in the Alpha PALCode dedicated instructions
-  that would prevent to use a native PALCode image.
