There's a big difference in which implementation we do.  The BSD/OS
implementation works, at least in the BSD/OS environment.  Nothing
else has been written.  I think it's very important that we get the
BSD/OS version up and hobbling before we start redesigning things.  By
the time we've done that, we'll understand the material so much better
that we'll have a double win (working code and an understanding of how
to do it better).  I'm currently up to my elbows in dead interrupt
code, and I'm surprised how much I'm learning [wipes mess off arms].
