Re: 64bit VMM support on Fiasco.OC

[Daniel W. <wad...@gm...>]

Hi Matthias,

I want to run either 32bit or 64bit Linux on Fiasco.OC 64bit.  What are
the pieces missing from Karma to do this? How much work do you think it
is?
Genode supports enabling vcpu mode for a thread (I think) and also
getting native fiasco capabilities etc.
