s/most/all/ - folks might have more work in progress, but I have an
HR350A in my office and that works just fine with -CURRENT. A
Poudriere run of the full ports tree took around 60h.

I tried to find all of the required commits and merge them to
stable/12 in time for 12.1 but wasn't able to do so, and unfortunately
12.1 doesn't boot (at least in my diskless NFS root setup).
