Compile time option perhaps.

Yeah, lets put pink frills on the edges of the monitor too :-)

Already underway. Check out the ongoing port of Linux to the 8086.
> * Journaling file system
Yes, this WOULD be nice. Anyone working on this? How about as a loop filesystem extension, so you e.g. mount ext2fs/minix/etc on top of a jfs module?

This doesn't belong in kernel space.

How about planning on supporting the upcoming 64 bit POSIX API?
> * STREAM support
I thought this could be done in user-land, and didnt have to have kernel space support. (I seem to remember a shared lib implementation of this).

Or symbolic links at least :-)
> * Ability to change the scheduler at runtime, via loading a module
I thought the scheduler could be changed per-program. With the POSIX.4 stuff.
> * physical/logical volume manager (like AIX)
Does 'MD' fit the bill?
> * Serial console support
Someone has already done this.
