It looks good. I will try and port the I-pipe patch for ARM to Linux
2.6.20. In the meantime, could you separate the AT91SAM9261 specific
code and the changes (if any) made to the rest of the I-pipe from the
rest of the I-pipe ? This would ease distribution and maintenance.

Yes, maybe some people there would like to know about this patch.
