I have added more lkm's to the work I've done.  Adding them seems
somewhat mechanical at this point.  I think all the simple things are
done though, now to work on the TODO list:

o  Learn how loadable devices can configure themselves, like the
   interrupt, dma, probing, attaching, etc.  Then start adding some of
   those to the lkm tree.

o  Figgure out if binary emulation (freebsd, linux, ultrix, etc) can
   be made loadable or not.

o  decide if fifofs is useful in any way as is, or if it should
   install syscalls as well.

o  decide if lfs is useful in any way as is, or if it should install
   syscalls as well.  Of course, it's broken in other ways, but...

o  decide if it is even useful to make ffs into a loadable module.

o  what about nfs?  Server and client should both be loadable I
   suppose.

o  where should the output of modload go?  What is it useful for?


Please mail me changes and suggestions.  I'll try to work on this and
get it into the tree, once I find a core member who's interested.
*hint* :)
