That's a good point but the driver is actually a .ko that uses documented
kernel interfaces (well it's not because it's documented that it will never
change but you see my point). Well, there may be two not-so-documented calls
but that's all. Mmm yeah and I assume some stuff about the VM86. Ok let's
pretend I haven't said anything. ;)

At the very least I hope to present the work at some *BSDCon. That's not as
great as giving the source code but it's better than nothing for my
overinflated ego.... ^^
