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.
