I had planned on doing just that to radeon.  It has sort of been
back-burnered (into oblivion) as the project that I originally was going
to do that for had been canceled.

Now it looks like that project might get revived, but it isn't clear
that we'll still be on the same hardware, or even on NetBSD, so I can't
say whether I might be able to contribute more changes like this as a
consequence of my employment or not.

(Right now I'm being told to focus on our Solaris and OpenSolaris stuff.)
