[Qemu-devel] emulate powerpc(mpc8544ds) on x86 architecture

[Shi Rong]

Hi all:
I want to emulate powerpc(mpc8544ds) on x86 architecture, is anybody 
succeed in it?

My working step:
about qemu:
./configure --cpu=ppc --target-list=ppc-softmmu --enable-fdt 
--enable-kvm --enable-tcg-interpreter --enable-linux-user 
--prefix=/home/shir/install/qemu/
make
make install

but everytime I start my qemu-system-ppc,
qemu-system-ppc -M mpc8544ds -kernel uImage -append "root=/dev/ram 
rdinit=/linuxrc" -initrd initrd -nographic
I get this error :
"KVM: Couldn't find level irq capability. Expect the VM to stall at times
kvm_init_vcpu failed: Cannot allocate memory"

fedora project reference below（ 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_and_QEMU_merge ）：
KVM provides kernel support for running guests of *the same 
architecture* as the host. Guests run directly on the hardware with out 
any translation needed by the host, allowing much higher levels of 
performance to be attained. QEMU can now use the KVM kernel support for 
higher performance virtualization.
is that true?
