Re: [Qemu-devel] AVX support for TCG

[Nick Renieris]

Thanks Stefan,

Just a heads up, I don't know if I want to go for this myself yet.
I'm still not sure I'll even be able to deliver the refactoring in
time (Step 2 in your list), and I hadn't even considered tests for SSE
as something I'd have to do since they're already implemented.
In addition, there's been talks with a different project that I might apply for.
I'll keep in touch if that changes, of course.

Cheers,
Nick Renieris.
