I think no one can have the access to all these hardware, so we can
only depends on those who accidentally have one to help the testing,
but it's still far from that stage..

Besides, the logical is not very complex in this part, all the
mapping could find corresponding code as proof, so reviewing
carefully then give a public testing on some tree may could be
a plan too?

But yes, I won't be able to give an exhaustive testing by myself
and no one is backing me on that currently :-P me too are waiting
for the answers on how to assure the quality for patch set like this...
