32bit has been working pretty well, including preemption, kgdb,
SMP, etc. IO subsystems have not been thoroughly tested. Board support
varies.
64bit needs some work.

AMD Alchemy boards:
- serial driver was updated
- ethernet driver works, but seens some minor updates
- kind of a beta version of the 36bit address support was sent to Ralf
- pcmcia driver was rewritten for 2.6, but only for db1x00 right now.
The rest of the boards need to be updated.
- usb host needs work
- pci bus seems to work (with the 36bit patch)
- sound driver needs update from OSS to ALSA
- Au1100 FB driver needs to be updated to 2.6
- Epson FB driver too (I won't work on that one)
- usb gadget support is needed
I may be forgetting something. I'm working on it part time.
