Semi automated conversion, in part because Pandoc is kind of buggy for adoc:

Some of the commands were along the lines:

    for f in *.md; do pandoc --atx-headers --base-header-level=3 -o ${f%.md}.adoc --wrap=none $f; done
    sed -Ei '/\[\[.*\]\]/d' *.adoc
    while read -r f; do cat $f; echo; done <f >g

=== Other architectures
The portability of the kernel and toolchains is amazing: change an option and most things magically work on completely different hardware.
==== arm
First build:
....
./build -a arm
./run -a arm
....
Debug:
....
./run -a arm -d
# On another terminal.
./rungdb -a arm
....
TODOs:
* only managed to run in the terminal interface (but weirdly a blank QEMU window is still opened)
* GDB not connecting to KGDB. Possibly linked to `-serial stdio`. See also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14155577/how-to-use-kgdb-on-arm
==== aarch64
....
./build -a aarch64
....
TODOs:
* GDB gives a ton of messages:
+
....
no module object found for ''
....
+
when you connect. `Ctrl + C` then `c` works though.
* How to add devices to `-M virt` as we did for `-M versatilepb`
==== mips64
....
./build -a mips64
....
