If that's possible - does anyone have a kernel cross-compile machine set
up for that purpose?IJ?

I've split the commit introducing the timer D handling to use
handle_simple_irq in the first instance,
and switch to handle_polled_irq in a separate commit. We can leave out
that one (and the commit
introducing handle_polled_irq) for upstream submission for now, and
revisit the issue once we have
feedback from linux-kernel and linux-netdev. I'd also leave out the USB
patches for now - the changes
to the ISP116x driver are far too intrusive for my taste.

Geert: only patches touching code outside arch/m68k have to go to
linux-netdev?

Next on my TODO: Amiga ESP SCSI (I've let that one sit for too long)

Cheers,

Michael
