If you're going to add support for either, please don't do it as OpenBSD
did with spamming identcpu.c with a hardware driver.  We've already
extracted longrun support from identcpu.c and going the other way would be
a huge error.

Also, I'd like to review any code if you plan to commit some.

Thanks,
