Good recall!  :)

Rev. F of the AT91RM9200 manual says, in 41.9.4:

    "If Mode fault is disabled, Chip Select 0 cannot be driven by a
    component other than the SPI otherwise the transfer does not occur".

... but if you enable mode faulting, something else breaks IIRC.

IOW, CS0 for the 9200 doesn't work if the SPI controls it.  And SPI 
doesn't work for CS0 if the SPI controller _doesn't_ control it, 
either.  So I've just quit using CS0.  :( 

At least, that's where I left it with 2.6.20 during my investigations.  
Haven't come back to this topic since then.
