mpsc problems, and no 750cx support.

What are talking about? Adirondack, IBM's reference board for 750CXe built for
them by SBS, has been supported (rock solid) in 2_4_devel since last summer. (I
know firsthand as I wrote all firmware and Linux code for the Adirondack and
significantly participated in the hardware design.) Also the EV-64260A I had at
SBS on which I did my first GT-64260 work had a 750CXe CPU module (SBS was
fully committed to 750CXe or 750FX for all designs by then) and ran fine.

_devel does also
not work 100% with ppcboot since it does not support bd_info afaik.

I'm very very glad that 2_4_devel doesn't use the bd_info crap and uses bi_recs
instead. If PPCBoot can't handle that, it's PPCBoot's problem. There is more to
the world than PPCBoot. StarMON rules!

We do have an Abatron.

Ahh, JTAG Heisenberg debuggers. Another thing I can't stand. Real programmers
don't need no stinking JTAG debuggers. StarMON's debug capabilities are better
than any JTAG debugger and don't have the Heisenberg effects of the latter.
