board, for the Virtex IV, for board specific
hardware, ...
	Additionally I have 2 complete boot loader through
full serial driver
implementations of a pseudo serial console driver
for this board when it
is in a HOST development system - it is a compact
flash card normally
plugged into a PC during development and using the
PC as the console,
and a complete serial driver chain for the Xilinx
UartLite as a console
when not in a Host, or as a general serial driver.
The Xilinx Driver is
based heavily on other 2.6 driver/serial drivers and
not the 2.4
implementation from Xilinx.

	Is this list the right place to submit this ?
	Is there a HOWTO addressing the rules/procedures to
do so.

Look in the Documentation directory, specificly the
two files
SubmittingDrivers and SubmittingPatches where the
correct
procedure is explained.

	I have not looked at the kernel style guides, but
the style of this
code is pretty much identical to other Kernel code.
The UartLite driver
is virtually indistinguishable from other
driver/serial drivers except
the few places where hardware differences require
changes, and that
there is a full tree of end-end support similar to
what exists for the
8250's.
