Oops. I should have looked at git.xilinx.com. I've been using secretlab's for a while and I saw xilinx site come up but never took the time to investigate. Even if it not mainline suitable code and 2.6.10-era, I would be interested. I'll explore in my free time over the next couple of weeks and see what I can figure out.
