+ * VPE support module
+ *
+ * Provides support for loading a MIPS SP program on VPE1.
+ * The SP environment 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.
