It is, and has already been done actually.
You may want to track how the nucleus and skins are moved on top of the
event-driven simulator running in user-space: i.e. include/asm-sim,
__XENO_SIM__ define. The simulator is basically a C++ library providing
co-routines, and a set of building blocks to mimick typical RTOS
resources (synchs, threads, interrupts etc).
Two more hints:
- the simulator is a good analogy for your problem, because the
simulation engine cannot provide any Linux kernel services, since it is
fully based on userland resources (in this case: from the glibc).
Therefore, if you don't have Linux underneath, this applies as well to
your case.
- track the xnarch_* interface from asm-sim/ (and elsewhere), how it is
implemented, what set of services is defined here. This is key to your
problem.
