description:
binary emulations are now loadable, the necessary framework changes are
all there; what is needed now is to ensure the LKMs work on other
ports - this may need changes to MD or sys/compat/* code

-o  Figgure out if binary emulation (freebsd, linux, ultrix, etc) can be
-   made loadable or not.  [They can be.  I have some kernel mods which
-   will make freebsd and linux loadable at least]
+o  Test compat and exec modules on more platforms, make necessary MD
+   changes to sys/arch/ or sys/compat/ code to make those modules actually
+   usable.
+   Currently, only Linux/ELF on i386 is easily loadable.
 
 o  decide if it is even useful to make ffs into a loadable module.
    [for diskless boots, sure, why not]
