The open source review should be complete soon, and I'll update that driver on 
my test system. I have some stuff to do, and was in the middle of working 
with the bfe/vfe drivers. Due to waiting for kstat changes and your driver 
having them, encouraged me to work both at the same time.

I think my ARC sponsor is on vacation, but will figure out what needs to be 
done so I can keep moving forward (i.e., using another sponsor possibly).
