Cool. Do you know if they are breakage fixes or just clean-ups? Which BK
tree are the bits in? (I assume I can browse through the bits on bkweb
somewhere?)

Well it compiles with a few pci tweaks (I'm not working with the
existing HARP boards but using our own and there are still hacks in
pci-st40.c). However it currently hangs on booting - although that could
well be my fault.

If no one is actively using or working on ST40 in the 2.6 tree at the
moment I don't have to worry too much about checking in stuff ;-) I'll
give the ml a few days grace before I commit anything though - I still
have to get upto speed on the "2.6" way of things!
