Interrupts operate in the context of the thread they interrupt. Plan is switch interrupt to their own thread which will provide a stack and memory allocation

Need to implement all the trig methods

Turn on bus master for virtio-net driver. Doing that fixed the configure issue for the 82559. Should start to receive packets once that is done.

The Java API library is heavily influenced by the underlying OS. Need to remove all OS dependencies like:

• the file system
• devices
• OS environment

Have an interrupt or trap push an Irq object that has a handler() method

Jikes is cool but it seems the spiritual successor is SubstrateVM. It can do AOT compilation, dead code elimination, closed-world optimisations and uses hardly any memory. No dynamic code loading though and not perfectly Java compatible.

It's probably a much better foundation to build on though especially because with it, you can run other languages that are not just Java. For instance you could run xonsh as a basic shell, inside a GraalPython sandbox, all inside the same JVM process.

The dragon4 object still needs more testing and tweaking

As stated.
