libx86: A hardware-independent library for executing real-mode x86 code1
It's often useful to be able to make real-mode x86 BIOS calls from userland. libx86 is built on top of two bodies of code - lrmi and x86emu. x86emu is a generic x86 emulator.
On x86 platforms, libx86 will use the vm86 interface provided by most modern kernels in order to execute code. On non-x86 platforms, an interface layer is provided to allow x86emu to be used to execute lrmi function calls.
