It is the other architectures that I'm specifically worried about.  I =
know that x86 flavors will work even without testing them specifically =
since I've been doing something akin to this for years.  I've not had =
good luck always with arm and mips platforms and USB, so I'd feel better =
if we could get some testing done there.  I'll see what I can dig up =
from my board pile to test, but my coverage will be limited.

Read this as a "go ahead with x86, please wait on the others for more =
data" from me.
