The interest in the alpha is a side line. But an important one as it works
out all kinds of strange assumptions in the code.
As for linux-lite. It is still a research topic to see if we can use it.
The kexec stuff shouldn't be hard to port, if it looks like these kernels
would truly be useful.
But we have had problems getting 2.2.x up with linuxBIOS getting 1.0.x is
even more interesting.
My priority at this point is to finish the alpha merge so I can get on with
the next set of stuff.
