Actually, there is one more major headache, which is porting a boot loader. Probably uBoot or something similar. Memory needs to be set up so it can be accessed by the kernel, the kernel (and initrd) pulled from the flash, and flow passed into it. If the system uses hardware controllers that exist elsewhere, the kernel port may be easier than that. It may be that the system has an ethernet controller that is already supported under Linux. Of course, the startup code and everything else under the "arch" directory will still need to be handled, but at least as far as the drivers are concerned, some work may be saved.
