+      <p>Since 2006, initial support for Linux timer function
+	compatibility support was present but untested.
+	This update corrects the initial implementation and makes it
+	available to the 32bit linuxolator on amd64, not just on i386.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>Starting with &os; 10.1, this enables users to run another
+	FPGA high-level synthesis toolchain and emulation platform
+	on a FreeBSD system.
