I think Nick wanted to take over this. At least he said he'd try.

I'll get on it as soon as I get MACE Ethernet driver working.

I don't know if this discussion should be started again, but I can't
stop myself from saing that having Linux supporting SGI MIPS
machines as well as it does SPARC64 machines would be very pleasant
thing to have. Everyone knows that Slowlaris is rock-solid OS, but I am
yet to see a person that doesn't like Linux on SUN machines. I want to
be able to say same thing about O2, Octane, and Onyx[2] systems some
time soon (wish wish wish....).
