The main issue here, is one of timescales. There are a huge number of changes
waiting to be placed into the free NetBSD tree. The ARM sub-tree (twig?) will
change beyond recognition. As it stands, we don't want to merge any new drivers
(which fit into the new, machine independant way of doing things) into the
existing tree until all of these changes have been committed. This is due to
happen in a month or so.
