Starting from the current version, created over 2 years ago for 2.6.22, I turned on a few device drivers that was added recently, turned on thumb instructions support, turned on EABI, kept old ABI compatibility and NWFPE, and got a resulting kernel that is ~170kB too large to be successfully booted using tools available at http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/.

Send that as a fix to this list with the minimal changes,
we should still be able to get it in as a fix during the -rc
series.

If you want to update the whole defconfig, we need to wait
for the merge window.

Just do the diff -u, then edit the patch to leave out all
the other hunks except the one above.

Regards,

Tony
