Just remember that ARM is probably too slow to emulate x86 anywhere near as 
fast as you would like to run drivers. Also remember that XScale does not 
have floating point, so it's not really worth your while to put a 3D accel on 
an XScale system. FWIW, most XScale machines that I've seen use the "pxafb" - 
the internal LCD driver.

For an alternative for LinuxBIOS that works on ARM systems, you might consider 
looking into the handhelds.org bootldr, or my LAB (Linux As Bootldr) code. If 
you have questions, ping me on IRC ... irc.freenode.net #handhelds.org (I'm 
joshua_.)
