I was thinking they could just remain in staging. The corresponding
hardware is very difficult to make work nowadays (typically ISA cards),
so I don't think it is a problem that they are not in mainline.

Since for now we do not really have a reproducer, we can not do much
code-wise. But one could try to look at making a reproducer. I don't
think this item would hinder moving speakup to mainline.
