BeagleBone questions (was Re: Towards an ARM system-building script)

Right, and the ARMv6 code has no cpufunc_sleep method either. :-)

Sounds like a mini-project! Just be aware of the platform
requirements! (ie, mav@'s timer code puts very specific requirements
on the behaviour of the halt/wait loop; I'm still not convinced
anything bar i386/amd64 "hlt" are doing the right thing. Yes, this
includes MIPS. :( )
