+@section Self-virtualization
+
+QEMU was conceived so that ultimately it can emulate itself. Althought
+it is not very useful, it is an important test to show the power of the
+emulator.
+
+Achieving self-virtualization is not easy because there may be address
+space conflicts. QEMU solves this problem by being an ELF shared object
+as the ld-linux.so ELF interpreter. That way, it can be relocated at
+load time.
+
+Since self-modifying code is not supported yet, QEMU cannot self
+virtualize itself in case of translation cache flush. This limitation
+will be suppressed soon.
