it's tricky to do exactly that without an impractical degree of coordination
(for instance, about interface changes).  but because it is silly to have
to maintain two sets of drivers for systems with too few anyway, i periodically
try to bring Inferno's set into close approximation.  (now i need to make
further changes to account for the revised plan 9 vm interface for drivers.)
rather unfairly, things don't often go the other direction, because
most of my own native Inferno work is arm and powerpc, not pc, or it's a similar
pc to ones used for plan 9 and drivers already exist.
