* Some translators do not support fsysopts, such as `remap`.
-* Make pfinet OK with the ethernet device going away. This would be a very
-nice feature: being able to just restart the ethernet driver; we've just not
-taken the time to fix it yet, but it shouldn't be very hard. The code begins
-at `hurd/pfinet/ethernet.c`, `ethernet_open()`, the `device_open` call, which
-produces `edev->ether_port`. Basically, one needs to catch errors like EIEIO
-when using it, and in that case re-open the device.
-See also the notes on [[hurd/translator/pfinet/implementation]], *Bugs*, *IRC,
-freenode, #hurd, 2013-09-03*.
* Add a futex kernel trap to GNU Mach. This can be useful for nicer locking
primitives, including inter-process primitives. `vm_allocate` can be used as an
example in the `gnumach` source tree for how to add a kernel trap. [[!GNU_Savannah_task 6231]]
