I think you basically need to treat a "foreign" CPU separately from a local CPU. You would load foreign CPUs as libraries and interact with it separately. I think the initial focus should be on hacking something to work. Then we can figure out what's the best path to merging. Regards, Anthony Liguori > > -- PMM
