Thanks Amit. For 2, what is the method (or document) to PV the OS. Your website 
mentions it a lot, but I've never seen the actual steps (~900 lines) to do so.

Best,
Chris J

Build system is generic and allow building v5/v6/v7. But the actual public 
sources have support for v5 only, to be precise its Armv5 pb926.

You cannot directly run an OS over hypervisor. You need to virtualize the 
operating system first.

As mentioned in 1), only v5 support is public.

PB926 should work fine on public sources.
