I have tested both series on an Armada XP based platform and I confirm
that I'm able to boot successfully with a BE8 kernel and into a BE8
userspace. Nice!
Would it be possible to get this merged?

I might have some time in the near future to look at that, if you don't
do it in the mean time, of course.
Thanks!
