Most of the architecture-specific code in BLCR is confined to small set of logic to save and restore the CPU-specific register set (vmadump) and some gcc inline assembly for atomic operations and special system calls. The majority of BLCR’s code base is entirely processor-independent. If you are interested in seeing BLCR run on other chips, and are able to devote programmer resources, please contact us! The Alpha platform is likely to be the easiest since vmadump already supports this architecture for Linux 2.6 kernels.
