Well, it is somewhat sad if they can't even get decent code in mainline for linux, which I assume was their intended target OS, the chances of getting support (or code, ha!) for OpenBSD seems very slim, or getting decent docs (which if they existed would have allowed linux to run fine on them too?) for the stuff around the cpu. So it might get to work, but I would probably not have my hopes up too much if it already did not make it on linux. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
