Subject:   RFC: Linuxulator MI bits in sys/compat/linux

Hi all,

I've been working on splitting the Linuxulator in a machine dependent
part and a machine independent part. This allows us to port the
Linuxulator to different platforms, of which the Alpha will be the
first.

I like to have consensus about where the MI bits will live. My proposal
is:

	sys/compat/linux

Pros:
o  It gives us a place for other -ulators such as svr4
o  It doesn't "polute" the sys/ root.
o  It matches sysctl, which has compat.linux.*

Cons:
o  We need to repocopy other compat stuff to have the full
   advantage of this scheme.

Request:
This topic has a high bikeshed probability quotient. I ask everyone to
keep focused and constructive.

Thanks,
