[okl4-developer] Linux kernel 2.6.18 port to L4 and tpm driver

[Jorge Torres]

Oh I see, you meant on top of OKL4, well I don't know what the main
differences are between 2.6.10 and 2.6.18, but as long as they are
architecture independent changes, porting would be pretty much
straight forward (pretty much a copy-paste thing), for architecture
dependant code you should write a paravirtualized code for it, you can
see more about it on kernel/arch/l4, anyways it will be very useful to
have a diff between the two, I'm pretty much a newbie on this, But I
believe that the real hard work has already been done, so
porting(upgrading) to new kernel versions can't be that complicated,

Cheers,

Jorge
