s/most/all/ - folks might have more work in progress, but I have an
HR350A in my office and that works just fine with -CURRENT. A
Poudriere run of the full ports tree took around 60h.

I tried to find all of the required commits and merge them to

12.1 doesn't boot (at least in my diskless NFS root setup).
