That should not have been new information; we've stated that before.

For ODS-2/ODS-5, probably.  Off the top of my head, I cannot
see why it would be difficult to build on V9 for IA64 and Alpha.

X86 might be a different story; there is no SVAPTE on X86, and depending
on the use, sorting out how to deal with that can be a pain.

DFS will never support VAFS; it would essentially be a complete rewrite.
