A Kernel from MIT

Sam Sharma writes "MIT has released the code for their exokernel. The exokernel is an absolutely minimal kernel - the only thing the kernel does is securely provide raw resources to applications. No filesystem, no high level networking, etc... . They claim this speeds up a lot of apps, for example by reducing user space to kernel space task swithing. They want developers. I'll help if I can.
