Ah, I didn't know that.
Sucks to be him. ;) Porting kernel code/drivers from one OS to
another is pretty tough work. In my experience (device drivers
mostly) it's usually easier to sit down with the original code,
write a spec for it, then start from scratch under the new OS.

Ya know, I think I used to know that.

Well, some of us do know certain corners of the Linux kernel
from certain angles, but assuming that we know any give feature
is definitely counter-productive. :)
