Not that I have, but I expect that I will be hacking on QEMU as part of this work. > Also, what would be involved in getting x86 to (at least have the option = to) > use the device tree stuff? It would be very easy once the endian issues are worked out since the device tree is just a data format to be parsed. g. -- = Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
