Thanks. Does this mean that the Linux backend is now a real rump
kernel, i.e. runs exclusively on top of the rump kernel hypercall interface?
Do you really get much benefit from buildrump.sh? Without thinking too
much about it, I'd guess it's mostly NetBSD-specific.
I don't like how Linux is patched in as a second-class citizen. If
we're going to be offering alternatives, they should all be available at
the same level, instead of one being the default and others being hidden
in flags. The -k flag of buildrump.sh is a good example of how to not
do things ...
