Fair enough, I will add.

Nope, I haven't been able to get a working end-to-end stack and hence RFT.
However I had tried to test just the SGI part but did have some hacks which
I have lost. I wanted to check if those changes were just for my testing or
is indeed needed in the kernel. I will try to dig more details.
