Originally I thought that I'd wait for the finishing of UPDATE and only
then merge the userspace code to the main. However, it seems like this is
causing a little bit of confusion so I decided to do it earlier (and we're
not really supporting the kernel-only version anymore).
So, please get the latest version of the hipl--main--2.6 as instructed in
the webpages. It is the latest version of the userspace code. It has been
tested and it seems to work decently. We even tested it today between a
PPC and x86 machine with Juha-Matti, and it was successful. However, the
UPDATE support does not work yet (on patch-283). Also, there may be some
other bugs we have not found yet, so early adopters are welcome.
I recommend the following installation procedure for the kernel:
* Get a fresh version of the vanilla 2.6.13.1 kernel
* Patch with beet/beet-patch-2.6.13.1 and beet/interfamily-2.6.13.1
* Patch with kernel/policy-sleep-2.6.13.1.patch (see [1])
* Optionally patch it with the distro specific patches, if needed
After that, you should be ready to run HIP in the userspace. Have fun!

P.S. Current working items are: UPDATE, IPv4+NAT and opportunistic HIP
support. We'll inform about these when they are working.
