If it doesn't exist in NetBSD, it can probably be reasonably done if
hardware and docs are available.  I might be willing to do it if there
is sufficient interest and someone donates some hardware to me.  Without
funding though, it will take a backseat to the projects that folks are
paying me for. :-)  So I can't state a specific timeline.
