[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/4] translate: [tcg] Generic translation framework

[Lluís Vilanova]

This series proposes a generic (target-agnostic) instruction translation
framework.

It basically provides a generic main loop for instruction disassembly, which
calls target-specific functions when necessary. This generalization makes
inserting new code in the main loop easier, and helps in keeping all targets in
synch as to the contents of it.

I've only ported i386 as an example to get some feedback, but I'm planning on
porting ARM next to see how well it fits into the current organization.
