That's what I've been using as a test platform, but it doesn't have
the option to boot from 9p virtfs. Landley should have a 3.4 kernel in
Aboriginal soon though, and since that supposedly has boot-from-9p, I
should be able to setup the test environment I want (everything on the
host's fs) using it once it's released. Of course I could do it now if
I compile my own ARM kernel, but I'd rather spend my time working on
other things at the moment...
