patch-2.6.8-rc3-ds1

Available @:

  ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/ds-patches/2.6/patch-2.6.8-rc3-ds1.gz

Build Documentation:

   Download linux-2.6.8-rc3 from ftp://ftp.kernel.org
	Apply this patch directly on top of 2.6.8-rc3 kernel

   Or clone my bk:

   bk clone bk://dsaxena.bkbits.net/linux-2.6-ds

   Edit top-level Makefile to point to your toolchain, then do:

	make board_defconfig
	make zImage

- Loads of IXP2000 updates:

  o IXDP2400 now boots properly on both master and slave
  o IXDP2400/2800 code separated out
  o I2C driver ported forward (merged upstream)
  o IXP2000 watchdog driver from Lennert Buytenhek (merged upstream) 

- Still needs testing:
  - PMC cards on IXDP2x01 platforms
  - ttyS[12] ports on IXDP2x01 platforms 
  - IXDP2800 (builds but my board won't talk to my network)

Notes:

  - Don't even attempt to use the Intel SDK with this kernel. The
    kernel still needs some stability testing and the SDK has not
    been moved fwd to 2.6 by Intel. Do _NOT_ ask on the linux-arm 
    mailing lists about using the SDK. If you want to know when
    Intel will move to 2.6, ask them as only they can provide that
    information.

  - Currently we just do a standard 3:1 kernel/user VM split. Once
    Intel has the SDK running on 2.6 and we require 2:2 or 1:3, 
    I will switch it over. Until then, 3:1 is good.

  - If you have an IXP2000 system of any type, please pound on 
    this kernel. I would like to push the code upstream as soon
    as 2.6.8 is out and Linus' tree is open for new submissions.
