We have a port that works (using 1 processor only) but its based on the 64360 code that was put into the -galileo tree. AFAIK, that 64360 code it not acceptable for the _2_4_devel or the -2.4 tree so we can't put it in those trees. There is also a file with a non-GPL license so that has to be rewritten before anything is released. When that's done, I am told there will be a preview kit for it available from mvista.com. Preview kits are freely available but you have to register (free). Right now, that preview kit is expected to be available in ~4 weeks but no guarantees. That's the best I can do so if that's not good enough, you'll have to do it yourself or maybe someone else has a working src tree they are willing to share.
