Hi
We have developed Mips64 user mode emulation. In addition we implemented
Cavium specific instruction along with octeon CPU definition. We need your
support to make our contribution public ally  available via making it open
source. I tried to resolve the issues pointed out by  Aurelien Jarno, Riku,
Nathan and other friends and send the patches on Jul 5. Please review
the patch series and give your feedback in the form of comments and
suggestions
Thanks
