We're starting a new MPC5200 project and I'm trying to track down 
the best kernel to start from. Is Sylvain's tree at 
http://www.246tnt.com/mpc52xx/ a good place to start? The git URLs
 from the web page don't work. Everything 5200 related in the trees
 at Secret Labs already appears to be merged.

Most of this work also appears to be in the Open Embedded tree's 
Ekifa support. Is that a better place to start?

It might be.  The major problem with MPC5200 is the Ethernet driver.
 I believe both Domen and Sylvain have been working on drivers 
suitable for arch/powerpc inclusion.

We have integrated FEC code floating around into DENX Linux 2.6 tree,
and have it working on several boards in the arch/powerpc context.

It might be worthwhile to check out
