Robert, I know I've never had a need to use a microcode patch. Maybe a quick survey - has anybody ever had a need to use two patches at once? I'm suspecting you may be putting a lot of effort into something that's rarely needed. Also, as Motorola updates their silicon the patches will likely become less relevant (less likely that new users will need the patches).
on my project alone, we've needed two different selections of those patches. so while it's not an earth-shattering modification, it doesn't hurt and it sometimes helps. and it makes the addition of any future patches really trivial, if that ever happens. rday ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
