In theory, the porting guide says what you need to do.  After that, I
would run the testsuites and see if you come up with a reasonable
port.  If you do, you are done, if you don't then you need to fix
those bugs.  If you can't run it, then, I'd suggest doing a simulator
or working on it so that you can run it.
