As far as I know, only Intel have ever expressed any real interest in
having this feature work.  My recollection is that there are some
supposed "carrier grade" systems where this is, for whatever reason, a
requirement.  There's been some previous discussion on the list, see for
example:

and the follow-ups to that message.
