Anyone thought about raspberry pie?

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Well, I am thinking that removing the dtlk and the rest shouldn't be to 
hard since it's modularized from what I've seen of the code. Perhaps 
it's time to do some architecture modularization as well? Maybe lift out 
some of the x86 specific stuff and do what the kernel does, with an arch 
folder and then arch specific code under there. I'm not really sure how 
that'd be done with the modules and the compilation process, but it 
seems like it could be doable.
