I will be more than willing to carry on from Simon's port in order to
get the sequential part going, as he has made much better progress than
I have. We almost exclusively use the stack in sequential mode on the
AT91 SAM7 mcu, so test environments should not be a problem.

Maybe we can get this port in some time soon then.
