Not yet. As I note below, this does not work as-is on Cygnus. I wanted
to get the initial code out there, as this already supports some chips.
There as still some additions necessary to get iProc/Cygnus and BCM53xxx
chips working (WIP).

The code you link to is a hacked version from Ray. His changes have not
been integrated yet.
