Sounds very good. Where can I find that tree in its latest version? 
Buildroot? OE?

It seems a bit odd to me that there's a kernel tree separate from the
CVS at handhelds.org. With the similarities in today's hardware (all
PXAs work the same to a large extent), I can't see a reason for this
separation, it just means extra work. Which tree is more likely to
make it into the mainstream kernel?

I'm willing to help, but it'll have to be next year because I've got a
PhD to finish first. I'd start out working on 2.6 straight away,
developing 2.4 is a waste of time IMHO.

What's the status of your SD/MMC driver, BTW?
