Cool.  We are looking forward to it; but my advice is, if you are planning
to get very specific about the x86 architecutre, than this would better fit
in as an article.

As per my advice above, If it is not "very" specific for the x86, than it
would be an execellent addition under the dev-handbook.

Hope this helps.
Looking forward to the chapter. 8)
