+* Write virtio drivers for KVM. Ideally they would be userland. That means getting documented about how virtio works, and implement it. The hurdish part is mostly about exposing the driver interface. The devnode translator can be used as a skeleton.
* Port valgrind. There is a whole
[[GSoC proposal|community/gsoc/project_ideas/valgrind ]] about this, but the

See also the discussions on [[open_issues/exec]].
