README: rewritten around what runs (Linux software, Xorg, apk, Linux's drivers), the honest gaps, measured numbers.
plan/: 1.0.md is the finish line, where each clause of the acceptance test stands, and the register (one failing
clause: a root that survives a reboot); built plans (foundations, hybrid, alpine, xorg) and the decided-against one
(wayland) are gone, their content lives in architecture/; roadmap.md is only what is still open.
guides: building/layout/testing/adding-a-driver (Linux code may be used). history: four entries (ls -lR, TLB
shootdowns, MDIO 0x02460246, netlink MSG_TRUNC). Website: cards, stack, download page, docs index.
Code comments that pointed at deleted plan docs point at the architecture docs.

The RTL8168 is now driven by Linux's r8169, unmodified, in a process.
`make ldls-r8169` stages it from the running kernel together with libphy,
mdio-bus, mdio_devres and the Realtek PHY driver, the kernel's BTF and
the RTL PHY firmware, and etc/schinit/ldls-r8169.job starts it at boot
with its log in /var/log/ldls-r8169.log. The native driver is out of the
registry; its code, now with Linux's 8168H setup, stays as the fallback.
LDLS grows what that needed:
- ldlsd loads a comma-separated module set in dependency order, each
linking against the ones before it, with BTF read before any
init_module runs;
- a driver core (bus match, driver probe), devres, kernel printf, real
udelay/msleep/ktime and 1000 Hz jiffies, phylib's bitmaps and
link_mode_params, firmware from /lib/firmware, and the symbols whose
stub zero was a lie (list validity, try_module_get, dev_err_probe,
eth_platform_get_mac_address);
- pdev->bus is a real pci_bus, and cmovcc from per-CPU memory is
rewritten like the other %gs forms.
In QEMU all five modules load, link and initialise, and r8169 registers
and finds no device. Probe and traffic are untested until real hardware.
The kernel turns ASPM off on Realtek NIC links at boot, as r8169 does
through pci_disable_link_state, which a process cannot.
Idle CPUs enter ACPI _CST's C2 (CC6 on Zen) by port read or MWAIT when
the APIC timer keeps running, instead of only ever halting at C1.
