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.."
