The patch to fix these issues would seem to be relatively small (12
lines in the smc911x and one line change in board-ldp.c) - is it
something we want done for -rc4 or do we scrap the ethernet support 
on the LDP until the SMSC driver has been merged ?

Would be nice to have it of course!

Obviously, having working ethernet would be helpful, and since it was
half heartedly merged when the initial OMAP3 stuff went upstream we
should do something with it one way or another.

Well, the SMSC driver is there already in the tree.

The only thing not currently being scheduled to hit
2.6.29-rcX are the recent changes to support platform
specified interrupt flags and all of that stuff.

If you want, we can look into pushing that work into
2.6.29-rcX

That would be great, more platforms to test it on.

Mainline during the -rc series is not for pushing stuff to get additional
testing.  It's for resolving regressions and fixing bugs, not introducing
changes which could cause regressions and bugs.
