For various reasons, I maintain a 4.5 copy of the vr(4) driver that
I've added the mclgeti and other things from current a while ago locally.
I just looked wether I get the box to crash or behave in any weird way.

| andor2 # ping -f foo.bytemine.net 
| PING foo.bytemine.net (134.106.XXX.XXX): 56 data bytes
| --- foo.bytemine.net ping statistics ---
| 1281377 packets transmitted, 1281369 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
| round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 0.160/0.493/64.885/0.683 ms

I will let that run for a while now and see. This is a Soekris 5501-60 with
vr(4). If it keeps running stable like that, I will go ahead and diff the
vr(4) drivers and see what the differences are.
