Yes, it is possible to configure the MMU to make the memory model flat
such that you can run uCLinux.
http://free-electrons.com/docs/uclinux/ looks like an interesting
starting point. Take the sources from kernel.org and start hacking
with Kconfig, use a uClinux.org toolchain to build, and use a
uClinux.org distro to test. Write blog posts on your progress. Come
back when you are stuck.
