Has any more happened on this off-list, or it is just in testing-mode
right now?
I applied the changes to a 2.6.12-rc2 tree (with some minor rejects to
sort out) and it compiles and boots fine on my Memec FF1152 board with
the Virtex-II Pro chip (Xilinx ML300 config).
A couple of small changes to be able to use the simple boot-loader is below.
Cheers!
