I have no clue. To date, it wouldn't be too useful because only 1 cpu
could be used. But then again, it could be a machine to help verify
the smp design :)
I suspect little of the pc532 port could be used. pmap and some of
locore and a few other ns32k specific stuff that would remain the same.
I'm sure the IO system would be completely different.
If I had more time, I'd be interested!
