I understand .. that's why I offered my help to Sean in the reply.

I actually never opened a PR about atapicam because (as you can see) I
sent as much info as I had at that time and nobody seemed to care, so
I thought maybe that was something you guys knew and were working on,
that's why I decided to wait until RC1 or so ..

Besides, the most serious problem that affects me is the bge(4) one,
and although I did file the proper PR, there's still no word about it,
so I though maybe opening another PR about atapicam made no sense.

The bge problem is the one I need to get fixed in order to be able to
run FreeBSD on my notebook on a daily basis =(

Will do. Right now I'm trying to debug the original vmcore (as Andriy
Gapon asked on a mail) in order to see what can be found there. I will
try Jaakko's patch once I'm done with the debugging =D

Apologies accepted although there was no need for them .. no harm
done, no need to apologize ;)
