Have they ever made a 32 bit CPU without an MMU in the last 30 years? Even
if such an exotic beast existed, would it be worthwile complicating the
kernel to support such exotic hardware? I always thought that Haiku's
primary target was desktop PC's with modern hardware, not exotic embedded
devices.
Cheers.
