I'll leave it to you then. Thanks.

Hmm... I think I agree. It is very different from our other
HALs. 

Maybe we should (at some time) add a 'linux' architecture which should
have platforms that are really support for various linux
architectures. The system level/signal code should be generic enough
to be used on all linux architectures.

Similar, when someone eventually writes a windows virtual HAL, it
should go in 'windows' architecture.
