Impossible. You need a 440EP/Bamboo specific port. Memory map is

Right.

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

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. ;)
