Well to be honest there was close to nothing to port...
There was one patch for empty dtrace probes and changing a few makefiles to
keep Qt4 because people did not want to use Qt5.
I built my own version using Qt5 back then it took 30min to setup then
45min to compile...

The USB patch was the only relevant thing and now we have the FPU thing to
fix.
