MPC8xx support in 2.6 and [PATCH] USB host controller selection...

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out if kernel-2.6.x is already a (stable) option for 
MPC8xx processors. Any hints? experience?
I just rsynced DENX's git tree (cg-clone will crash on a 404 error).
Problems I have found until now:

- Processor identification is still shady. Thanks to Marcello's patch 
yesterday, it now boots up without problems, but this definitely needs to be 
done. Who is working on this part?

- USB Kconfig file for 2.6 kernel is broken. It is not correct to assume that 
you either have a PCI interface or a processor with internal HCI. Proof: We 
have a board based on MPC852T (no internal UHCI) which can plug into an 
(optional) daughter board with a ISP1160 on it. See attached patch.

Maybe the patch should be sent elsewere since it has not much to do with PPC, 
so can someone please tell me where?

Greetings,
