That's an OS port, which is very different from an arch port. There is work underway (see the os abstraction patches at http://user-mode-linux.sf.net/patches.html) to make UML OS-portable. arch/um/include/os.h will show you what you currently have to implement for a new OS. This is subject to change since we have only moved the existing OS-specific stuff and not tried to rationalize it yet.
