Thanks for testing these constraints, but can we have guest code
actually exercising the code path to the XMIPS instructions?
Also code testing powering VPs up/down, to cover CPS, GCR and CPC.
Code using the e1000e card would be awesome ;)
Thanks,
Phil.

Thanks a lot Phil! :)
I agree.
We created https://github.com/MIPS/linux-test-downloads/, and I will
follow what was done for other architectures and make a proper test
that checks Linux boot that contains XMIPS instructions as well as
to cover other features we are adding here.
Will be part of v7.
Best,
Djordje
