No problem, but I'd like to commit the following x68k ones
 - sys/arch/x68k/dev/ite.c
 - sys/arch/x68k/dev/itevar.h
 - sys/arch/x68k/dev/mha.c
(which would be fatal) separately so that I can use one commit log
to pullup request to netbsd-6.

Some device_t/softc conversions in sys/arch/sparc/dev/fd.c and
sys/arch/sparc/sparc/memecc.c seem fatal.
Good catch :-)
