Gah I'm really sorry, I have no progress to communicate so far. I didn't
really find the time in the past few months but I do intend to work on this
if nobody beats me to it!
To bo honest I was a bit put off by Brad's comments on his twitter account,
making fun of the few things I initially missed. I realise now, given his
own reaction to mistakes, that I should not have.

as I've mentioned in the past we've been using that here to run AFL on the
kernel, so it's great if it makes it to mainline!
