+libx86 - a hardware-independent library for executing real-mode x86 code
+
+It's often useful to be able to make real-mode x86 BIOS calls from
+userland. lrmi provides a simple interface to this for x86 machines, but
+this doesn't help on other platforms. libx86 provides the lrmi interface,
+but will also run on platforms such as amd64 and alpha.
