I am porting a SPARC-based thread package to other platforms.
I need to use asm() to incorporate assmbly language stuff into 
the C codes to do the context switching. This differs from 
architecture to architecture. 

If someone in the net has done some stuff similar to this, I would 
like to talk with her/him.

Besides, I need to know how could I get the "XXX Architecture Manual"
for as many platforms as possible (RS6K, ALPHA, SGI, etc.).

Thanks a lot for help.
