In the same thread, fvdl said he has looking at preparing a pull-up
request. The bug I was concerned about is now fixed, but there are a
handful of PR's still unresolved on the new driver. (Search the bugs
databse for "ahc".)

http://releng.netbsd.org

You'll see that most of the requests are stalled until after 1.6.2 is
cut, as it's evidently very close, so there's no point in rushing in a
pull-up request. Once it's made, you can always pull-up the identified
changes to your own sources in the same way that releng does, if you
don't want to track "netbsd-1-6".
