I'll add
		* Different Core ARCH
		* FDT or similar to describe I/O (MEM, PCI, GPIO) acessible for
		  each instance
		* Mailbox Architecture
		* boot preocedure (bootloader as example done by Kumar Gala
		  for the mpc8572ds in linux & U-Boot)
		* sharing rootfs (RO) (reduce the rootfs size on embedded)

Best Regards,
