    That the kernel developers to decide, the deve wouldn’t need to change angthingz but i doubt the idea too, how can sincronize the arm and x86? How to you handle libraries of the different architectures

      The libraries would probably be easy. We’ve already got x86 and amd64 libraries on the same machine, but the kernel I imagine would be awful. Would two kernels have to run on the same machine? What about memory access? What about the scheduler? Would it really be more efficient than emulation? For every x86 instruction, there is either an equivalent instruction or an equivalent set of instructions for ARM.
