Having KVM support for MIPS would be really great. AFAIK there is not hardware virtualization support on MIPS (except if you plan to use the supervisor mode for that), so how do you plan to proceed here? Executing everything in user mode and emulating the trapped instructions? MIPS is using a split address space depending on the mode, so that may not be that easy. All of that to say it would be nice to have a more detailed description about such a GSOC, describing the your exact plans with a rough timeline. This is especially true, given that adding support for a new architecture in KVM seems to be a huge task for a GSOC. The best is probably to fill a new entry on the wiki, at this address: http://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011 > According to the GSOC, there should be a mentor to each participating > project.

I know almost nothing about KVM, so if we go for a GSOC about adding KVM support to MIPS, it would be nice to have another mentor who have a good knowledge about KVM. I am pretty fine with the MIPS part though. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
