Subject: New architecture for the Linux kernel

Hi,

the attached WIP patch implements a new hardware architecture for the Linux kernel.

Currently, the new platform is x86 hosted, the real support code only exists in theory.

The patch applies to 3.7.x and configuration can be done using "make ARCH=tm xconfig".

Driver support is only sensible for tape drives, so only those are included.
WIP support for 8-track tape recorders (currently, configuration entry only)is also exposed.

Comments?

Best regards and Happy Easter,
Zoltán Böszörményi
