The kernel bits are mostly ready, but I've held off committing any major
changes to the kernel until the current stability problems are fixed.

The patch & more information is available at:
	http://people.freebsd.org/~tjr/linux32.html

without a little manual merge-work. I'll try to make an updated version
available some time this weekend.
