Actually, shouldn't it be possible to bring it into -STABLE as well?  
As long as it isn't in GENERIC by default, I can't see any harm in
doing so (similar to what was done with Netgraph).  I know that
support for certain cards has to be turned off in the older ncr
driver, but I assume that can be conditionalized to happen only when
the new sym driver is compiled in.

I'd really love to see this driver in -STABLE.  I've been using 0.9.0
since it was released and haven't had any problems.
