As far as I know, I'm the only person that has done work
in this area... (But I could be wrong)
I haven't had much time to work on any mods for recent
kernels, but the most recent one I compiled is at:
ftp://cpre1.ee.iastate.edu/pub/netbsd/netbsd-daystar%232.tar.gz
(The file is actually named netbsd-daystar#2.tar.gz)
See the readme for more details
IF I find the time I plan on updating my src to current and
begin trying to track down some cache coherency problems.
The above kernel flushes the cache WAY too often...
