It's closer. I just realised that we need a way of creating resources
for SystemIO and SystemMemory AML objects as well. I think I've worked
this out too; I'll try to get it worked out today and send you a patch
this evening. I'm following your request to get the bus-dependant parts
split out, but I do *not* think that we should be committing any of the
NetBSD code to the FreeBSD source tree (this has been a failure in the
past), or vice versa.
Meanwhile, my laptop is getting very hot. 8)
