I was very impressed once I saw this map first, which was through
your (?) contributions to the Linux entries in Wikipedia. Keep up the
good work!

The embedded systems will be interested in most things not
asm-i386 and arch-i386. For example you show a lot of PCI
and such things in the lowest layers, I wonder if it'd be worth
the effort to make arch-specific views of the lowermost parts
(but probably not).

Another this is that flash drivers MTD, doesn't fit into the picture,
instead harddisk is uses as example.
