[Qemu-devel] Interpreter

[malc]

Hello

At http://www.boblycat.org/~malc/code/patches/qemu/ you will find latest
version of pentium-pro interpreter tailored for QEMU. It was originally
intended to help QEMU running some DOS (or just heavily SMCed) programs,
turns out QEMU can do just fine without. Nevertheless i belive this thing
can help: cosimulation and whatnot.

Interpreter can currently do 2 things QEMU cant: count cycles and
check segment accesses(though FPU interpreter does not).

Interpreter patch has one visible side side effect: -interp command line
switch.

P.S. When turning on segment checks WfW does not boot, there seems to be
a limit check failing in rep movs, maybe its my fault, maybe QEMUs.
