I investigated this a little this morning using my proposed linux-ports
kernel update [0]. Once the machine has booted and I logged in I found
that the spufs kernel module is available but isn't loaded for some
reason. Consequently the /spu kernel filesystem isn't mounted.

I was able to load the module using modprobe without error and I was
then able to manually mount the /spu filesystem. But I couldn't create
directories below it (as described in Arnd's arcticle [1]) even as root.
However I need to go back and revisit this later as I may have made an
error somewhere.

Next I need to work out why the spufs module isn't getting loaded.
