Yes, that is my plan.

It's my standpoint, too.  Tired of debugging etherboot/grub/uboot code to
run and having strong confidence "this should be far small and simple," I  started
writng them in rush.  And yes, I want to keep LIBSA loosely coupled with the
rest of NetBSD kernel structure (or -ism API) and include files (it started its life
when NetBSD did not exist on this planet, didn't it?)  The aim is the ease of code
re-usability, or "retargetting," out of NetBSD context.  I used LIBSA derivative
code for non NetBSD OS several times and got paid in fact.
