The difficulty level always depends on what Justin did with his latest
sequencer :)  It may not be that hard, unless he changed some of the more
subtle semantics of the sequencer, such as exactly what the kernel must do
when certain error conditions occur.  As for working on it, that's pretty 
much next on my list since I think the 5.0.18 driver should pretty much
solve people's problems with negotiation issues.
