The CentOS 4 kernel is able to finish initializing, execve and other
syscalls work.  KDB also works and in my point of view getting the rest of
the system going is not that hard compared to porting.  So I decided to take
a breather.  I switched to another sub-project I had going.

There are a few sub-projects for OpenSSI.  One of them is this CentOS 4
kernel.  The other is porting CentOS 4 userspace which is done and I'm just
testing.  Another sub-project is optimizing the existing OpenSSI code base
in the kernel.  There were a few items that could be improved.

CentOS 5 coming soon..  ;-)
