Hi Henry, A while back I posted a different approach [1] to this mailing list for review. To bad, there have not been any comments. The differences of my approach in contrast to mwester's approach have been discussed on the arm kernel mailing list. If there is any interest in this (userspace) approach at all, I will improve on the known problems (like hard coded ATAG base address). I'd really appreciate feedback from the developers.
