	I think what Peter means to say is that FreeBSD is a volunteer effort,
and although we get a lot of good ideas every day, they aren't likely to
be acted on without code to go with them. :)  Additionally, the -doc
list deals with documentation about freebsd, most of us couldn't code a
dma driver if we wanted to. You might get a better response by mailing
to freebsd-hackers, but don't be surprised if the answer is "sounds
great, where's the code?" 

Thanks for your interest,

Doug
