Has anybody ported Linux to a virtual machine? Does anybody have any
pointers aside from the lkml's abbreviated FAQ entry concering porting
to a new processor? What would be the best way of going about this? Is
there a supported architecture that is simpler than the others and/or
better to use as a model? What about the UML (User Mode Linux)
architecture? Are there doc's, FAQ's, etc. concerning this? Should I
just read the mailing list and harvest the source code? Thank you for
any (positive) input.
