@subsection Supported CPU models for MIPS32 hosts

The following CPU models are supported for use on MIPS32 hosts. Administrators /
applications are recommended to use the CPU model that matches the generation
of the host CPUs in use. In a deployment with a mixture of host CPU models
between machines, if live migration compatibility is required, use the newest
CPU model that is compatible across all desired hosts.
