Philippe, hi.

Herve told me a while ago that he does care about R4000 being
supported, as it is closely related to Jazz machines, so please
don't start any deprecation process.

Herve is the most familiar of all of us with R4000, and, for that
reason, my suggestion is to keep the patch as it is. Let me know
if you have any objections.

One alternative approach would be to merge "R4000" and
"Jazz" sections. But, let's leave it for future as an option,
if nobody objects.

Yours,
Aleksandar
