One thing that is missing right now is a writeup on what librumpkern_sys_linux and friends do exactly. AFAIU they: 1) Translate struct stat and the like between Linux and NetBSD ABIs. 2) Translate (and handle TLS support for) rump_sys_* use of errno. Am I right? I should probably just go and read the source :-) but want to finish reading Antti's dissertation first. That presumably predates librumpkern_sys_linux -- there's a high level discussion of this in section 4.3.1 but nothing about the implementation as it stands today.
