Yea, a lot of the IOP machines that use RedBoot have to do this junk
too... Like the N4100. :(
I mean, I could "lie" and say that I'm an N2100. In fact, that plus a
big comment in the machine descriptor that says "the crappy bootloader
for this board passes the wrong machine identifier, so we lie to it in
order to bring the system up" might be a better way to deal with it than
an out-of-mainline asm hack that keeps coming back to you with each
kernel release.
Could you tolerate that, rmk? Just one commented line in the machine
descriptor that looks kind of strange?
b.g.
