Xbox support in mainline => no go

Hello guys,

I guess I'll give up my attempts to get Xbox support in the mainline
kernel. I sent in patches several times, but I didn't get any response.
After mailing with Andrew and Linus, I guess it is best to give up... for
now ;-)

Yours,

I agree with Andrew. If people really start using Xbox-linux a bit more,
and it can be loaded without hardware mods or special buggy games, we 
might revisit the issue, but right now I think adding it to the standard 
kernel would be little more than an "Up yours!" to MS. Not that I love the
 people, but I also don't honestly see the point..
