We're already shipping efika.forth in Fedora rawhide, and in my updated

It would be much better if the kernel would 'just work'. The ideal way
of achieving that is for the firmware to be fixed -- but that's been
promised for a long time now, and we just don't believe you any more. So
working round it in the kernel seems to be the next best option.
