Hold on guys -- this is very much a work in progress!

There are still some bits missing after the big merge, and even once
Jun's got it compiling again we're at least a couple of weeks away from
wanting to let real users loose on it, and probably at least six weeks
before its fully functional with migration etc.

TODO:
 Fix compile, get it booting as dom0 again 
 Testing with LTP, SDET, lmbench etc
 Code cleanup, sync up with latest i386 improvements
 Enable bulk pte update optimisations  
 Port user space domain builder
 Port migration (shadow page tables)
 
Best,
Ian
