 * Notes:
 * IP28 Indigo2 Impact support (classified as an Indigo2 system w/ an R10000 Processor) is very experimental . Most of the work was done by Peter Fuerst. The Indigo2 IP28 system suffers from an issue known as Speculative Execution, a feature of the R10000 Processor that is problematic on machines that are Non-Cache Coherent, such as the IP28 Indigo2 and on R10000/R12000-based IP32 O2 systems. Details on the nature of Speculative Execution, and the issues it poses to the Indigo2 can be found at the following URLs:
