How to allocate a new machine type?

[Corbin Simpson]

So, I noticed that there's a Pollux entry, POLLUX_WIZ (1950), in the
mach-types list already. Does anybody know if that covers all Pollux
devices, or just the Wiz? Also, what do I have to do to allocate a new
type?

It's for "GamePark Holdings GP2X Wiz".  So it seems its only for the Wiz.

   Machine name:     GamePark Holdings GP2X Wiz
   Web site:         http://www.gp2xwiz.com/
   Description:      The GP2X Wiz is a handheld video game machine using the
                     MagicEyes Pollux SoC.

For information on machines, including registering new ones, etc, see
the bottom of Documentation/arm/README in the kernel tree.

Russell,

Thank you for the quick reply. Type 2028 appears to be the Didj,
allocated by one of the OpenWiz guys. I will use that.

While the merge window is still open, is it kosher to send patches to
this list for upstream? I have a few patches that don't rely on the
arch-lf1000/arch-pollux code that I'd like to unload. I know that I'm
new to this part of the kernel, but I think I'm learning quickly.

This is the right list for arm-related stuff. If it's for other parts of kernel, 
check linux/MAINTAINERS . Also, if you are uncertain about some patches, be sure 
to post them and get a feedback.
