  I know SQR(fsck all) about Lisp Machines, but in

 VLM On Linux
 This file gives some additional hints on running the Symbolics Virtual
 Lisp Machine (VLM) port to Linux/x86_64 by Brad Parker.

There is also a Lisp on bare-metal-x86, project Movitz:
http://common-lisp.net/project/movitz/
It would probably be a good idea to port it against the Xen PVM
interface - this would solve the pesky issue of hardware drivers quite
elegantly ;-)
