It is interesting from the point of view that the group was able to
port LAM to a new interconnect, distributing only the small
device-specific code. They were the first outside group to try to use
the SSI infrastructure for an RPI. We hope this becomes more common
place, especially with some of the upcoming goodness we have in store
for LAM development.
