(That said I believe he's on a road trip with his family this week?)

Rich tends to miss things that go by on the list, or silently assume things will
go in through somebody else's tree. That said he responds to email and if all
else fails I have his cell phone number, so poke _me_ about it. :)

What I _don't_ have is the technical expertise to say more than "yup it compiled
and ran on qemu and/or my turtle board". (I have two other pieces of sh4
hardware and an original sh2 board, but they're in austin and I'm in chicago at
the moment, and none of them has a particularly friendly bootloader for feeding
new kernel images into.)

If you just want "it worked", I can sign off on that. If you want "is it a good
idea", that's a higher bar.
