Implementation

A prototype of the kernel plugin facility has been implemented in recent stable-tree Linux kernels (versions 2.4.18 and 2.4.19). The prototype implements hardware isolation, dynamic code generation, and dynamic linking fully, though details of the design are still evolving. This section describes some relevant implementation details and their implications.
