I've done almost nothing on this. I believe the atomic ops should be
OK. There was a problem at one stage with trap handlers using global
variables but that should also be fixed with a NetBSD merge that was
done a while back.
If you can grab the spin-up code from NetBSD, which I don't think is
too bad, it may turn out to be a not-too-difficult project.
later,
Peter.
