But only on newer hardware... As a UNIX software vendor, *believe me*
when I say that most systems just don't support it (they don't have
the hardware, and those that do don't always have the software support)
That's all well and good; those systems won't have dynamic
capabilities. That's no reason to hold everything back, though.
