I was -- already some months ago; then I had to interrupt because of more stringent issues taking over -- thinking about attempting such a project, starting with reading papers about (a proposal for?) L4's way of handling hardware interrupts in user space servers. <http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~hohmuth/prj/omega0.ps.gz> -- ``Omega0 -- a portable interface to interrupt hardware for L4 systems.'' by J. Löser and M. Hohmuth. Can any of the L4-savvy people (Marcus?, Neal?) comment on this? Is this feasible for Mach as well? Is this what L4 is still using? I can see code for this in the TU Dresden L4 repository, so i guess they're actually actively using this proposed interface? What is Minix doing? Or other microkernel-based systems? Regards, Thomas
