Okay, Sony has basically announced that they will be allowing "hosted"
operating systems on top of their "kernel" -- which to me sounds like
they are calling their hypervisor "the kernel".  Either they are going
to release documentation on their hypervisor interface, or it will be
apparent in their forthcoming Linux patches -- so I definitely
interested in working with folks to make the Plan 9 port happen.

In my view, we'd be best served by working on getting Plan 9 on a
commerically available ppc64 (or more cost-effectively a ppc64
simulator) preferably on top of a hypervisor architecture (rHype would
be the open-source candidate here).

More from me in a couple of weeks after IBM makes some external
announcements which I can't talk about yet.
