Doubly nice considering that they have working code. We looked at it briefly as part of a discussion in the office about user mode device drivers, not really that seriously - one of those lunchtime things. In the end it's far better to just mmap /dev/mem and be done with it anyway. Other than that I can see little use for this. Machines without an MMU running uclinux effectively run like this anyway.
