Unfortunately, the implementation of the kernal (or is it kernel? :-)) is
not only CPU dependent but very machine-dependent.  I agree that an
implementation of the kernal should be written to avoid as many of these
dependencies as possible, but the dependencies on all of the supporting
hardware is still there.  For example: I would NOT expect A/UX to run on
any 680x0 machine except the Mac-II (and its' decendents).
