Eh?  Unless some magic has happened during the last year or so (which
was when I stopped doing this), it isn't really a hard problem, just a
lot of work.  There are other areas (protocol implementations come to
mind) where there are _much_ larger dragons.

But there are a lot of chipsets these days - even if each one isn't a
really hard problem, tackling all of them require either a lot of
dedication or a lot of personell, or preferably both.
