I guess it's a matter of no one with the necessary combination of:

	- hardware
	- docs
	- driver writing ability

has written one yet. :-)

As a side not, if anyone *does* write up IPI support, it should probably 
be handled the way SCSI is handled by NetBSD (i.e. MI IPI bus code and 
device code, with machine-dependent controller drivers).
