Hello,
a quick status on how QEMU has evolved regarding this topic.
We have merged :
a09410ed1fb8 ("target/ppc: Remove the software TLB model of 7450 CPUs")
and switched MMU model to POWERPC_MMU_32B in :
1da666cd8e79 ("target/ppc: Disable software TLB for the 7450 family")
With the two patches of this series, we can boot the latest linux on all
7450 CPUs. With an extra small fix on the CPU table, 7448 boots.
A small correction, we only need OpenBIOS to include patch 2: "ppc: Add
PVRs for the MPC7450 family".
Yep we don't need the vectors anymore. But I think I remember Mark
saying it would be nice to keep the implementation.
I have an extra patch for 7448 tough.
Could you send the updated OpenBIOS series as a v2 (even if it's part of an existing
series) just to make sure there is no ambiguity here? If the vectors aren't now being
used with your latest QEMU changes then I'm less keen to merge them, simply because
there is no easy way to confirm if they are working correctly without having access
to real hardware.
ATB,
Mark.
