OK, port Linux to an 8051 with 256 BYTES of RAM and (at most) 64k of

Ya know, with folks like Cygnal (sorry Silicon Labs) in the business,
and Siemens/Infineon with its 32bit ALU in
an 8051 clone, how long will it be before we see an 8051 clone that
actually could boot linux?
Is there a requirement for the 8051? I believe the 2.6 kernel supports
the H8/300 microcontroller. Granted, the H8/300 is more powerful than the
8051, but it's still a microcontroller.

I think the idea was that in this case Linux was inappropriate :) I really
don't need an oven that runs linux :)
As I later mentioned, in this case the microcontroller was actually talking to a
linux host.
