Thanks!  I'm now preparing also own memory management subsystem to
avoid memory leakage in kernel space and to utilize VM efficiently.
I believe it should be also one of the important things.

OK, we'll do best we can do aiming merge into 5.0-CURRENT.

We will!  We shall keep the reports periodically (maybe monthly? of
course depending on our progress).  I think that we, folks in Japan,
learned enough communications won't hurt anything.

Doug Rabson and Warner Losh, thanks for your valuable advice and words
of encouragement.

This sounds very promising. I will check out the code soon and try to give
feedback. Creating the ACPI namespace is a necessary first step before its
possible to do full AML interpreting.

I think we should aim to do most of the work in 5.0 after we branch off
4.0. Perhaps some of it can be back-ported after it become stable in 5.0.
