          If you don't want to compile a kernel exclusively for a Sun 3, say N.

+config VIRT

Can we avoid selecting this for a new platform?


I tried but I was not able to have a working scheduler.

As the machine has been tested with this option and most of the other m68k machines uses it, I will
keep it.

FWIW, the VM in its current form works very well and reliable and has been
in use as a Debian porterbox for almost a year now without any issues.

Would be great if we could get this feature added upstream so I can enable
this kernel configuration in Debian.
