All I really have left to do is get the functions lined up in the same 
order as OpenBSD ral and make sure the version we have isn't missing 
anything important from OpenBSD version, as well as assist future 
porting efforts for upstream changes. Large sections are identical to 
OpenBSD or modified to suit. There is also some inherent verbosity in 
the code I'd like to move to a debug sysctl or something.

It works fine for now, but it's not long-term elegant. PCI attach works 
well, and I haven't had any issues using it yet. However, the Wifi led 
on this thinkpad does not light, but that seems to depend on whether the 
card is Led + & -, or Led + & RFkill GPIO.

Now I have a desktop freebsd machine, which means more vertical space on 
monitor, which hopefully means organizing a few thousand lines of code 
better :).

I would not mind at all having more experienced eyes look at it and help 
bring it up to snuff.

Thanks,
Matt
