Hence the approach we are taking with xen. You get a linux, you get a
Plan 9, you get holes torn in the I/O and memory spaces from Plan 9 to
hardware to let you doink hardware and write drivers under Plan 9,
and, with any luck, crash the machine at will.

I think it's going to work out. At least the crashing part.

Aki is already regularly crashing linux from user mode, so how hard can it be?

p.s. with the new web 2.0 in my firefox browser, with 64M resident out
of 136M, I am seeing that the mouse "sticks" and as I move the mouse
random shit gets highlighted and erased. Fun.
