I can not say I've focused too much on the parts of the documentation that
relate to device drivers.  Since I mostly hacked on physmem, I put energy

I must admit that I have almost forgot everything about it.  But I suspect
that as soon as I start to poke through the code I wrote, it will come back

It is good to hear that you'll return to hurd-l4 hacking.  I've promised
