/*
 * VPE support module
 *
 * Provides support for loading a MIPS SP program on VPE1.
 * The SP enviroment is rather simple, no tlb's.  It needs to be relocatable
 * (or partially linked). You should initialise your stack in the startup
 * code. This loader looks for the symbol __start and sets up
 * execution to resume from there. The MIPS SDE kit contains suitable examples.
 *
 * To load and run, simply cat a SP 'program file' to /dev/vpe1.
 * i.e cat spapp >/dev/vpe1.
