Tim Rightnour sent this to the NetBSD sparc mailing list (replying to a
question about 'hibernation' mode) :
  "Actually I've been working on a "sleep" of sorts.. the tadpole has a device
  which lets you muck with the speed of the CPU.  Unfortunately it's totally
  undocumented.. but I'm making some small progress.."
