ARM is not like x86: every ARM processor has its own interrupt
controller and timer management, so the I-pipe patch need to be adapted
to each board. Currently, the I-pipe patch supports the Integrator, the
IMX21, SA1100 and PXA based boards and s3c2410, and there should be a
port to AT91 soon. According to linux configuration, the LinkSys NSLU2
is based on Intel IXP4XX processors, for which there is not yet an
official port. But if you are willing to do the port, we will be glad to
help.
