The support was added to stable about a month ago and will be in
4.5. You can get support by cvsuping to 4.5-PRERELEASE (which is the
name on RELENG_4 at the moment) to get it today or wait for
4.5-RELEASE in late January.

Are you familiar with updating with cvsup? It's fairly trivial,
although it does require 2 reboots and about 30 minutes in single-user
mode to install the new binaries.
