My thoughts exactly. I also mentioned this in a private message to
Warner. I'm sure we'll talk about this at the DevSummit, which is a good
thing. As I once mentioned, it would be rather painful for me if we
would delay it too long, because now is my summer break and in September
it is not.

Yes. Peter Wemm already mentioned he doesn't mind fixing up si(4) after
the import, which also removes some of the pressure. As mentioned on the
Wiki page: don't be shy to poke me if you have any questions/comments!

That sounds like a good idea. I think I'll annotate
/sys/ia64/ia64/ssc.c, which has become really simple after it had been
ported to mpsafetty.
