NT uses a hardware abstraction layer that replaces cli() (or the
NT equivalent) with a virtual function call all the time, similar
to RTAI.
A HAL would be a nice way for Linux to make binary-only drivers
work with RTLinux (and SMP, and various other patches that change
inline functions and structure layout) -- that is, force binary-only
drivers to use a HAL, but allow source drivers to use inline speedups.
