    Description:
    For people who would like to experiment with the multi-kernel Linux concept , Cong Wang has announced the
    release of mklinux v7.0-mk2. mklinux lets one machine run several independent Linux kernels at
    the same time on bare metal, without a hypervisor. A host kernel
    owns a pool of CPUs, memory and PCI devices, carves that pool into
    instances, and boots a spawn kernel into each instance through
    kexec_file_load(). Every spawn kernel runs natively on its own
    CPUs, its own physical memory and its own devices. Nothing is
    emulated and nothing is trapped; the only thing shared is what you
    choose to share. Note that this is not the old MkLinux , which was a port to PowerPC
    Macintosh systems.
