Yeah, this is a bit out of date.  SMP and watchdog bits are good, along 
with some subset of the USB ports (IOMMU is a WIP).  With the branch I'm 
working on right now, we can go full multi-user on a USB root.  Work
stalled for a bit because there was a general disagreement with how we 
integrated parts of the interrupt control into the interrupt framework, 
but I've been given a vision recently of a clear path forward, so 
hopefully we can move forward with that and unblock upstreaming some of 
the other bits.

Thanks,
