I now have access to Cort's BitKeeper, so I will be merging
the 8240 I have and it will soon show up in the real sources.
If you want something to patch, I created a tar file of the
new files and those that have changed. Let me know and I
can make that available. It is just the result of my separating
the changes for merging.
I was contracted to do the 8260 port by a company and they
currently have the first version of that software. I will
check in all of the software affected by GPL, which isn't
everything at this time. I am not going to screw around with
software patches for anything less than an A.0 revision part.

I have contacted Dennis about this software, we discussed some
of the porting challenges. I requested this software to merge
with mine before checking into CVS, but have not received a
response.

I should end up in the "real" Linus kernels almost as quickly as
we make the updates. I don't think there will be a separate "tree
in waiting"....
FYI, there is nothing common between the 8240 and 8260 ports,
except their use of the 603 core generic software. The 8240 is
a 603 with a slightly modified 106/107 PCI interface. The 8260 is
a faster 860.....Very different kernel builds.
