+1. Yes, the patch has been tested using the latest CVS version (HEAD) of GNUmach. Verified means that I have verified that GNUmach can be built, booted successfully (using IDE and various NICs). I have also verified that the Hurd swap using storeio works smoothly.
+2. Nope, I haven't yet verified the patch 100% against GNUmach (CVS). However, I have verified the patch against the OSKit itself. Please [[Mach/BuildingOskitMach]] if you feel up to the task.
