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.
