"hardware abstraction" in 5.4

Hi,

I'd like to find more information about the "hardware abstraction layer" which was listed as one new item for snmpd in net-snmp-5.4 NEWS file. 

Is this "hardware abstraction" just a way to implement MIB modules, or is really a new API in snmpd?  My primary concern is that if it is a new/changed API, it means that I can not compile the new IP-MIB and IF-MIB implementations with a 5.1.2 agent, right?

Supposedly it first appeared in 5.3.x but I didn't see any mention of it in the 5.3 section of the NEWS file? I also couldn't find anything named "hardware abstraction layer" in the API doc, but that could be just my fault.
