-- [ls][dw][lr] report broken (aligned) BadVAddr
+- Unimplemented ASEs:
+ - MIPS16
+ - MDMX
+ - SmartMIPS
+ - DSP r1
+ - DSP r2
+- MT ASE only partially implemented and not functional
+- Shadow register support only partially implemented,
+ lacks set switching on interrupt/exception.
+- 34K ITC not implemented.
+- A general lack of documentation, especially for technical internals.
+ Existing documentation is x86-centric.
+- Reverse endianness bit not implemented
+- The TLB emulation is very inefficient:
+ Qemu's softmmu implements a x86-style MMU, with separate entries
+ for read/write/execute, a TLB index which is just a modulo of the
+ virtual address, and a set of TLBs for each user/kernel/supervisor
+ MMU mode.
+ MIPS has a single entry for read/write/execute and only one MMU mode.
+ But it is fully associative with randomized entry indices, and uses
+ up to 256 ASID tags as additional matching criterion (which roughly
+ equates to 256 MMU modes). It also has a global flag which causes
+ entries to match regardless of ASID.
+ To cope with these differences, Qemu currently flushes the TLB at
+ each ASID change. Using the MMU modes to implement ASIDs hinges on
+ implementing the global bit efficiently.
