Well, there are a few things that came up when I proposed putting it into
-current (on the -arch list), and I haven't gotten around to fixing those
yet.

Part of the problem is that I have changed jobs, and no longer have access
to the hardware I was using to test things out with.

Drew Gallatin has supplied remotely accessible hardware that I can use to
debug things, so the main thing I need at at the moment is time to fix the
issues that Bosko, Matt Dillon and others had with the code.
