OK, someone is just going to have to try it if you want any form of answer
soon. I do not have time to wade through the mosix site and try to work
out how it functions right now. I would start with the xfs development
cvs tree and attempt to apply the mosix patches to it. If it adds a 
filesystem then there will probably be conflicts in fs.h, but it
should not be rocket science to fix those up.
