Thanks for this, much appreciated.

Sad to see there is no other arch that is going to be ready, wonderful :(

As Linus said, hah!  Intel only "handled this better" because of Thomas
pushing them (the effort it took to get me here was crazy...)

And I doubt we need another git tree, we already have one, that should
have worked for any arch that needed it.  The problem seems to be that
those developers were not "allowed" here for us to work together,
exactly like last time.

Oh well, baby steps, maybe next time will be better, but I'm not holding
my breath.
