closed source kernel is not a problem if we have access to good API
documentations.

But supporting non Free OS is not my main goal.

mostly true. Solaris for x86 is just a shame. It's slow, lacking many
features from the sparc version. Moreover i don't know any developer who
has a solaris box installed.

Btw, the driver does not use assembly, so the port would be to all
Solaris architectures not just x86.

We did nerver look at it, so i can't tell you

I think the main reason for me, is that i see no interest in using
solaris x86. If i had a sparc station, i would change my mind but that's
not the case so...
