Could not confirm that so far! Ebony and Ocotea are working out of the
box, using these defconfig files! (pristine kernel 2.6.11)

With PIBS and on a bamboo?  If I was just too stupid and made some
silly mistake, that would be great news.

Impossible. You need a 440EP/Bamboo specific port. Memory map is
completely different on 440EP.  For discussion sake, note that
440GP/GX are very similar parts with respect to memory map and
peripherals, then 440SP and 440EP each have very different layouts.

FWIW, there's somebody well into a 2.6 440EP port, dunno what the
ETA on submitting the code is.

Right.

Would be nice to get either somebody's name or the preliminary code.
I don't care about crashes too much (can't be worse than not working
at all) and am willing to help.  If neither is realistic - heck, we
need to get familiar with the cpu anyway, so there is no reason not to
race for submission. ;)
