By the efforts of Shimokawa-san, the SBP-II function has enough quality to publish. I believe now is a time to commit -current, since a lot of people expect it. We have to get a new sub directory as sys/dev/firewire before committing. Should we ask arch@freebsd whether it is appropriate ? P.S. After published. WIDE DV guy will port their DV application to the current API.
