+ * Lockstep Execution Plugin
+ *
+ * Allows you to execute two QEMU instances in lockstep and report
+ * when their execution diverges. This is mainly useful for developers
+ * who want to see where a change to TCG code generation has
+ * introduced a subtle and hard to find bug.
+ *
+ * Caveats:
+ *   - single-threaded linux-user apps only with non-deterministic syscalls
+ *   - no MTTCG enabled system emulation (icount may help)
+ *
+ * While icount makes things more deterministic it doesn't mean a
+ * particular run may execute the exact same sequence of blocks. An
+ * asynchronous event (for example X11 graphics update) may cause a
+ * block to end early and a new partial block to start. This means
+ * serial only test cases are a better bet. -d nochain may also help.
+ *
+ * This code is not thread safe!
