Is this hard / time consuming? Or just a matter of "will come quick once
the SMP issues are ironed out"? What exactely is the problem with US III
and Nevada? Different TLB / pmap(4)?

What about E[3456][05]00 support? Now that we are close to working SMP
it looks like a nice target to have a 8-USII-CPU end table running
NetBSD... ;-)
