Status of 2.6 8560 support.

I need to support the WindRiver PowerQUICC III MPC8560 board in 2.6. I
see a handful of #ifdef CONFIG_BOOKE in 2.6 but it's not actually
possible to set it, and parts which are in 2.4 (like motobooke_mmu.c)
are still missing.

Where's the rest of the 8560 support for 2.6? What needs to be done to
it to get it merged? You can consider me to have been volunteered ;)

So, I've been hoping to get this done quicker, but it seems the driver
review and subsequent cleanups have taken longer than I had hoped.  So I
guess we'll have to do it in 3 passes:
1) Core bits (arch/ppc/8260_io/commproc.c ->
arch/ppc/syslib/commproc_cpm.c, head_e500.S, etc, etc)
2) Serial driver
3) enet driver(s).

And if the enet drivers get cleaned up quicker, we can of course swap 2
and 3 around.

So, Kumar, can you please post a patch of the core bits?  Or if it's too
big, shoot it to me off-list.
