Does anybody have any pointers aside from the lkml's abbreviated FAQ entry concering porting to a new processor? What would be the best way of going about this? Is there a supported architecture that is simpler than the others and/or better to use as a model? What about the UML (User Mode Linux) architecture? Are there doc's, FAQ's, etc. concerning this? Should I just read the mailing list and harvest the source code? Thank you for any (positive) input.
