wrt Blackfin, those statements are conflicting.  fixing the Blackfin tree 
involves major new code.  of the changes i posted, only 2 or 3 touch 
Blackfin-specific pieces in files outside of Blackfin trees, and do so in a 
controlled manner (obj-$(CONFIG) in the Makefiles).  those are not 
generally "bugfix" in nature though.

but you dont really care: it's big changes that havent been posted to the 
u-boot list for review, only been reviewed in the Blackfin fork on 
blackfin.uclinux.org by our team / customers over the last year.
