Well, first you need to have a cross compiler.  ;-)

We got our hands on some Many Integrated Core (MIC) test hardware:

And icc/icpc cross-compilers (which build either x86_64 or mic or
mixed output) to go with it.  Tell it to build mic-only code, and the
resulting executables won't run on the host CPU, which turned out to
break a *ton* of open source projects, us included...

Email me a patch against the branch HEAD, and I'll give it a shot?
