OK, so PRUSS is one vowel change away from the name of a killer android 
in a work by Philip K. Dick.

Are there applications for this driver? I'm just curious having skimmed 
this document [1]:

"The PRU subsystem on the OMAP-L1x processors, C674x DSPs, and AM1x 
Sitara ARM MPUs allows the application developer to implement soft 
peripherals; peripherals implemented using a combination of on-chip 
hardware and software."
