We want to get people working on userland as soon as possible since this
parallelises well with other people hacking on the kernel. However, we
need to go 64-bit inorder to support the L-class and similar machines.
I also mentioned that we need ELF support RSN as it is hurting us quite
badly. I know Sammy has been working on getting 32-bit ELF going on
his 712 for the kernel. Sammy, how's that going?
