I believe that additional patches are required for CodeWarrior to
work
properly (e.g., assembly start up).  I think the patches should come
from Freescale.  For whatever reason, they include them in their SDK,
but haven't submitted them for inclusion in the mainline.

As a developer on Freescale Power products, I would like to see
Freescale offer up a CodeWarrior patch set, so I don't have to manage
the patches myself when working outside the SDK (i.e., on a more
recent
kernel).

Such patches would have a hard time getting upstream considering that
codewarrior is a commercial product.

Naa, Abatron BDI is also a commercial product and that is in the kernel. CW
changes pretty much just add the same settings for CONFIG_CW. I think Freescale
should just rename CONFIG_BDI_SWITCH to something generic and just use the same code.
