I don't know how hideously complicated it would be, to implement a module
interface that would support loading linux modules into whatever other OS such
as Plan 9. I suppose it would be vastly simpler than something like "wine" for
example. I think that would be useful, because so many devices are supported
under linux before other OSes. I'm not experienced at kernel programming, so
there may be issues with memory mappings and such that would make it impossible
to get some modules working in this fashion. I guess it might be possible
though.
