I dont know the alpha and having a box isn't going to help that.
I can "guide" soemone who DOES know it as to what the kernel 
MD parts should do but I'm not in a position to code them.

They are pretty trivial to describe, but you need to know a lot about
the architecture in question to know how each function should be
achieved. 

I guess what I should do is produce a recipe as to what needs to be
added to to each architecture's MD files to 'complete' that
architecture. With that I think specialists in each architecture should
have little problem filling in the gaps.
