OK, I know this is entering iffy territory, as far as disclosure, so feel free
NOT to reply if you can't, but will features available in system releases in
the near future (next 18 months) be equally accesible to II/PMMU owners as they
are to '030 owners (just from a chip point of view, leaving out any new
hardware coming out soon/in the future).
