Summary: a hardware-independent library for executing real-mode x86 code
Description: 
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.
