What about?
1) Improving IPv6 stack, particularly the router advertisements part,

   ip/ipconfig -6             # works fine
   ip/ipconfig ra6 recvra 1   # does not work

2) Add support for more SATA/AHCI controlers; I have:

00:02.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS968
[MuTIOL Media IO] [1039:0968] (rev 01)

I think, the above is a PCI bridge, may the Linux lspci -nn is reporting
it wrongly because of [0601] id, which should be [0604]. Neither the
9load nor the kernel recognizes it.

and I saw:

00:05.0 SATA controller [0106]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AHCI
IDE Controller (0106) [1039:1185] (rev 03)

is seems to be supported by the 9load and, or kernel, but I could not
install neither the plan9 not 9atom on this drive; none of the IDE/AHCI
mode worked, whereas Linux, FreeBSD and Windows-7 are working fine in
AHCI mode.

3) HDA/AC97 Audio controllers
