Hello All, I have a sidewise question related to this thread. We have several ML-310 and ML-410 boards. At some point, we may need PCI but right now it is not urgent so I am not ready to invest a lot of time yet either. I imagine that 2.6 + PCI would be relatively similiar for both ML-310 and ML-410...
My question is this: Would it make sense to have a Kernel configuration something like "VIRTEX_PCI" and a platforms "XILINX_ML4xx" / "XILINX_ML3xx" ... or create four platforms: XILINX_ML300 XILINX_ML310 XILINX_ML40x XILINX_ML410 I ask now because we are working on some device drivers for the ML410 that may work on 40x and I wondering if I should introduce a new ML410 platform option...
