Peter wrote (a while back):
I've been thinking about this for the last day or so. We also need to
be able to run 32 bit linux binaries, probably more urgently than 64 bit
linux binaries. The thought of having two linux emulators in the kernel
gave me a headache.
So that's a bit of a pain. The linux_base-8 port certainly hasn't been updated
for amd64 (it claims to be i386 specific). And as long as there are still no
loadable kernel modules for amd64, kldload linux isn't an option either.

If the door is ajar, can we fill it with door-jamb?
