L4Ka::Hazelnut/ia32
The L4Ka Hazelnut kernel runs on all commodity x86 systems (Intel Pentium or higher,
AMD Athlon or higher) and on VMWare.
We make use of the following x86 features:
Super-Pages (4MB)
SysEnter/Exit (PII and higher)
Global Bit for kernel memory (PII and higher)
APIC/IO-APIC if available
We started adding SMP support for x86 systems. Currently, we can migrate threads
and send IPC. ex_regs and task deletion are still open problems.
Minimum memory requirement is 64 MByte and we support up to 256 MByte of RAM
(currently hard coded but no design limit).
