I suppose adeos level should go nicely with the kernel changes once 
they're in place; we can easily mimick the kernel techniques (#ifdefs) 
to tell which arch we're on. The issues would be with Xeno having to 
distinguish the kernel were building for. I'm quite sure putting all the 
Xenomai stuff under a common powerpc and having a few #ifdef 
__powerpc32/64__ won't be enough. Having SAID that, it probably will 
enough, though :)
