Yup; it is supposed to be. Oddly enough I've never seen anything that
made me think they've ever done anything but handle x86 instructions.
Originally I saw lots of claims about being able to run x86 & PPC and
ARM code all at once.
Unfortunately the translation cache is in main memory as well - all 24Mb
of it on the Compaq TC100 tablet - so it doesn't solve the bandwidth
problem I'd like to see tackeld.
