Do we really care about rewriting the kernel? We have had good time with
BlackBox running on top of Windows. We did not rewrite Windows.

How about BlackBox running on top of Linux kernel the way it is? Let
others maintain it. We will just use it from user space.

Linux kernel bindings can be found in any Oberon System source code.

In order for either BlackBox or Oberon System to run on this CPU there
needs to be a native compiler. Ofront is of course possible, but native
compiler is preferred.
