The idea is that all the code for the particular problem hardware should be able to go in a separate directory with only additional build options in config.in. The current patch really only pulls out the visws code from the core and places it into a separate directory (sort of a simple example case). It also creates a generic directory (for standard x86 PCs) with all of the hooks documented. The current patch moves mpparse.c back into arch/i386/kernel with it's own subordinate config option and upports to 2.5.24. http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/arch-split-2.5.24.diff There's also a bitkeeper repository with all this in at http://linux-voyager.bkbits.net/arch-split-2.5 James Bottomley
