OK so that sounds like a challenge! ;-)

Well, maybe it's worth a try.  Start with mbvanilla_net, remove 
everything except a minimally configured microblaze, interrupt 
controller, timer (maybe use the fixed interval timer rather than 
programmable?) memory controller, and one uart.

You can configure a pertty minimal linux kernel - only romfs and ramdisk 
support - no networking, see how small a kernel you can build.

Maybe you and Francisco can team up on this - no point duplicating the 
effort!
