Move target-* CPU file into a target/ folder
We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.

For the current boards it +is the second one. Ie to enable it in the qemu virtual console window use +the following command line parameters: + -serial vc -serial vc +This will make serial0 (the lm32_uart) and serial1 (the JTAG UART) +available as virtual consoles. + + +Semihosting +----------- +Semihosting on this target is supported. Some system calls like read, write +and exit are executed on the host if semihosting is enabled. See +target/lm32-semi.c for all supported system calls. Emulation aware programs +can use this mechanism to shut down the virtual machine and print to the +host console. See the tcg tests for an example. + + +Special instructions +-------------------- +The translation recognizes one special instruction to halt the cpu: + and r0, r0, r0 +On real hardware this instruction is a nop.
