We got Drew Eckhardt drunk enough to agree to put the support code in the
NCR driver, but he's since been too busy to do so. I'm interesting in IP
over SCSI for performance work (100baseT is too slow and full of funny
cable capture effects). The NCR especially is very interesting as it
ought to be possible to use this with the U-NET work for very fast
message passing from user space with no syscall overhead.
