First off, I'd like to thank Chris for volunteering to undertake the first
port of UML and seeing it through to the point where it's basically working.
It's a nice demonstration, if any were needed, that UML isn't i386-only.
Based on what I've learned from this port, I'm writing up what amounts to a
UML porting guide. It will be found at http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/
arch-port.html when I have something ready. It will be incomplete at first -
I'll be filling it in as I go through the existing code and as I finish
integrating Chris's code into my pool.
So, if anyone wants to port UML to another arch, have a look at that page (and
continue looking as I fill it in :-). You'll see that it's not a huge amount
of work. UML is fairly portable.
