Originally, timers were ticks based, and it made sense to
add ticks to current time to know when to trigger an alarm.
But since commit:
7447545 change all other clock references to use nanosecond resolution accessors
All timers use nanoseconds and we need to convert ticks to nanoseconds, by
doing something like:
y = muldiv64(x, get_ticks_per_sec(), TIMER_FREQ)
where x is the number of device ticks and y the number of system ticks.
y is used as nanoseconds in timer functions,
it works because 1 tick is 1 nanosecond.
(get_ticks_per_sec() is 10^9)
But as MIPS timer frequency is 100 MHz, we can also do:
y = x * 10; /* 100 MHz period is 10 ns */

cpu_mips_get_random() function is used to generate a random index from
CP0.Wired to TLBSize-1 range. Current implementation avoids generating
the same as before value, hence the while loop. If the guest sets
CP0.Wired to TLBSize-1 (which actually does not sound to be very
practical) QEMU will get stuck in the loop infinitely as we always
generate the same index.

The LFSR algorithm, used for generating random TLB indexes for TLBWR
instruction, was inclined to produce a degenerate sequence in some cases.
For example, for 16-entry TLB size and Wired=1, it gives: 15, 6, 7, 2,
7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2...
When replaced with LCG algorithm from ISO/IEC 9899 standard, the sequence
looks much better, with about the same computational effort needed.

Compare/Count timer interrupts are handled in-kernel for KVM. Therefore
don't bother creating the timer at init time if KVM is enabled. This
will conveniently avoid attempts to set the timeout when
cpu_mips_store_count() is called at reset with KVM enabled, treating the
timer as stopped so that CP0_Count is modified directly.

The MIPS CPU timer (CP0 Count/Compare registers & QEMU timer) is
reset at machine initialisation, including starting the timeout. Both
registers however are placed before mvp in CPUMIPSState so they will
both be zeroed on reset by the memset in mips_cpu_reset() including soon
after init. This doesn't take into account that the timer may be
running, in which case env->CP0_Count will represent the delta against
the VM clock and the timeout will need updating.
At init time (cpu_mips_clock_init()), lets only create the timer.
Setting Count = 1 and starting the timer (cpu_mips_store_count()) can be
done at reset time from cpu_state_reset(), which is after the memset.
There is also no need to set CP0_Compare = 0 as that is already handled
by the memset.
Note that a reset occurs from mips_cpu_realizefn() which is before the
machine init callback has had a chance to set up the CPU interrupts and
the CPU timer, so env->timer will be NULL. This case is handled
explicitly in cpu_mips_store_count(), treating the timer as disabled
(which will also be the right thing to do when KVM support is added).

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
