This is good to hear. Maybe it is in an ifdef in EPICS. Still not sure why
it would include that file though. It doesn't appear to be anywhere except
libbsd.

So the beatnik works with the new stack. That's good news. Do you happen to
know about the mvme3100 or any of the motorola_powerpc boards? It looks
like the drivers are in libbsd but I don't think anyone has reported them
working.
