Better console support for Linux (and maybe for BSDs).  On my 3gx, the
console is painfully slow in Linux.  I'm not so concerned about PCMCIA,
as the only things I use PCMCIA for on other laptops are ethernet and
SCSI, both of which are already built-in.

Probably APM support, although it really depends on what's annoying me
at the moment you ask :-)
